‘God plus one is always a majority!’ ~Author Unknown

There is a lovely line in one of Paul’s letter to the Romans when he says: “If God is for us, who can be against us”. It is comforting to know that we are not on our own. There are times in our lives when it feels like an uphill struggle. Some people it seems are against us, time is against us, circumstances outside of our control are against us, life is against us and even sometimes it seems God is against us. Pages, books and libraries can be filled with things written about God, but there is one absolute certainty, God is not against us. God is never out to get us, never out to make life difficult, never out to trip us up. God is with us through everything and that includes the days when nothing goes right and those days when it feels the world is against us. Today is a day to appreciate that in God’s eyes we are indeed special, loved and always included. The word ‘against’ does not exist in God’s vocabulary.
