The Lord wants us to live and rest assured that He is for us. After all, He wants to “show the boundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:7). The next time you’re feeling uncertain, return to these principles and meditate over them—and may you receive God’s peace in return.
