IT'S ALL GOOD.

Romans 8: 31 – 39


Ever seen those clothes with the smiley faced stick figures that say, “Life is good?”
To me, that saying is a truth.
Life is good.
Especially if we have a relationship with the living God.
There are those who wear that clothing line just because the shirts and hats are cool. Or, they may be worn by someone who thinks that the figure on the clothes is funny.
But, when trouble comes to their door, well, life doesn't feel so good to them anymore.

31 So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose?
35 Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

No matter what comes our way, as long as we have a relationship with God, we can face the trouble without a worry. We know that God will help us through the storm and whatever the out come,
“Life is still good.”

36 They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
37 None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us.
38 I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow,
39 high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

Ho Daddy!
How many non-believers do you think can stand by and feel that everything is gonna be okay when going through this sort of trouble?
In his song, “There's a Rainbow,” Marty Stuart reminds us that,
“There's a Rainbow at the end of every storm.”
knowing these things.
Knowing what Scripture tells us.
Knowing that Deep in our heart's that we have a relation ship with the King of King's!
Life is truly good.
And, we don't need no t-shirt to tell us that.
