I think it is easy to wonder if God is really for me? In the midst of my sin and despair when I feel unloved does God love me and is He for me? i just read The Rising Hope by Charles R Swindoll and was hit hard by the fact that God is for me even in my sin and despair. I think many times I find my heart, mind, and thoughts clouded by my failures and sinning. I think that many times I am so unworthy of any grace that God extends because if he only knew how evil and bad I am. Thankfully I am wrong! God is always for me as Romans 8:31 proclaims. How do I internalize these truths?

Jacob and Esau’s joyful reunion in Genesis 33 and 34
I love how Esau and Jacob reunite after the 20 plus years since they had seen each other. Jacob was fearful to see a angry and bitter brother who resented him. God is proved faithful in telling Jacob to leave Laban and head home. Esau was overjoyed to see his brother and his family. It makes me wonder if there are any grudges that I hold that I need to let go of?
