Let Truth Speak

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Romans 8:32.

For many of us, there are life events that are so vivid, they appear in our minds as if they happened less than 24 hours ago. For me, it was a mild fall day and my youngest niece attempted to swallow a peppermint, and it got stuck in her throat, causing her to stop breathing. I was outside when I heard my sister-in-law scream. I ran inside to find my sister-in-law on the phone with 911 and my niece on the floor gasping for air with tears in her eyes, reaching out as if she could grasp the air. I...

If you are in Christ, do you sometimes forget the foundational truths of God's love for you? Do you sometimes feel that God loved you once you acknowledged your need for Him and now you have to strive to get that love back?
