Steve Arterburn of the New Life Live radio show gave a caller who was struggling with guilt from past sin this challenge: read through Romans 6, 7, 8 every day for 30 days and see what happens. I, too, struggle with forgiving myself my past transgressions so I took this challenge on for myself. Even though it's only been three days, I am finding that different verses speak to me on different days. Today what jumped out at me is: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do no know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." (8:26) There are so many days when I feel so overwhelmed and burdened that all I can muster is a weak cry of "help". And today, I was reminded that He who knows my heart and mind even better than I do is right there on the floor with me, interceding with "groans that words cannot express". "If God Almighty is for me, who cares who's against me?" (my loose paraphrase of 8:31!) The Creator of the Universe is on my side! What can compare to that?! Blessings!
