Romans 8

I've been stuck on Romans 8 for a number of days now. There is just SO MUCH in it, and I wanna take a few days to chew on it.

Just before the very first time I read it last Thursday, I had a barrage of condemning thoughts hitting me, for no apparent reason, at 6.45am, thoughts about my unworthiness to serve in Ministry, thoughts about my crumbled spiritual walls, thoughts about ppl not liking me.

And then I looked up at my screen and saw it -

Romans 8:1
- There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus

Instantly, all the thoughts lifted. And then I asked myself, do those thoughts have any grounds at all? Even if I don't condemn myself, I'm not perfect either. And how do I explain those things that have already happened in the past?

Romans 8:28
- And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

If you really, really believe that ALL things work out for good, then whatever has happened, is happening or will happen MUST be good! It's so easy to look at things negatively. What if we do things radically, and look at things super positively for a change, because we have the grounds of Romans 8:28?
