I'VE GOT THE BLUES: I DOUBT THAT GOD COULD LOVE ME

We all sing the blues sometimes. What's in your blues song this week? Dumped? Betrayed? Broke? Hung over? Robbed? Hopeless?

It's hard to lift yourself out of the blues. Satan wants to keep you down, whispering "Loser!" in your ears. That's why God sends us friends whose words of praise or comfort can help us back on our feet.

The ultimate comforting friend is God the Holy Spirit. When I am plagued by doubts, and especially the worst of all doubts – doubts that God loves me – the Spirit reminds me of the Calvary love of Christ our Savior. He helps me believe that such a great treasure can actually be mine, that heaven can actually be my destination too.

The Bible says, "The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:16,17). In the Spirit you've got a friend. In God you've got a Father.
