Ten Things God Wants You To Remember...Part 1

So, I have another little story to share. Today I went to the doctor's office, as I will every Wednesday for a very long time and as I am on my way back to the second waiting room. You know, the one that you graduate to after you have spent your time in the first waiting room. Just kidding. This doctor's office is really good about keeping you on track. They would have to be to have me completely diagnosed in less than 3 business days and have my treatment started in less than a week.

Anyway, I am on my way back when one of the nurses stops me and hands me a cute little pink gift bag. She said that it was dropped off for me at the receptionist down the stairs. No way! Who goes to the doctor's office and gets a present?!? I tell you what, it totally changed my day! My friend Vicki had so thoughtfully done this for me. Tears literally came to my eyes! In the gift bag there was a beautiful card and that is what inspired this series. At the top it said "Ten Things God Wants You To Remember." How cool is that! Sometimes we try to make it so complicated but it doesn't really have to be.

Here is the first thing God wants us to remember....

I am for you.

When was the last time someone said that to you in such simple terms? When I imagine God's voice saying this to me, I get goose bumps. 

This amazing little fact is confirmed throughout scripture. Remember Romans 8:31 - ""What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? - that I talked about last week - a scripture my friend Julie sent me....(yeah, that was no coincidence that God placed that on her heart to send over to me.)  He isn't looking over our shoulder the whole time just waiting for us to mess up.  He wants us to succeed. He wants good things for us. It is just up to us to remember it.
