Sometimes, you just need comfort. The following was once said of R.A. Torrey:

Dr. Torrey always said that Romans 8:28 is a “soft pillow for a tired heart”.

There are times in life where you are just beat up. And the only thing that can bring lasting comfort is the book. Because in the book, are the words of life.

Last night, as I walked around my neighborhood, I listened to Romans 8 as narrated by Max McLean and I was reminded in a fresh way that nothing shall separate us from the love of God. That we have a savior whose name is Jesus who PRAYS for US. Can you imagine that? Jesus is praying for those who are His right now! He’s interceding for you!

And to know that I can lay my head on the pillow tonight and not have a second thought about whether I’ll be God’s child tomorrow is priceless to me. Sometimes you’re just beat up. Sometimes you just need a good pillow and a good rest.

Romans 8 has become in the last ten years a life chapter for me. I hope you’ll read it or listen to it today and just rejoice in the deep rest it gives weary believers.
