Whenever I'm Sad

Paul says, "What a miserable person I am." (Romans 7:24a) He's talking about someone - about everyone - who has ever been unhappy, sad, or depressed. Anyone who has had to deal with their own limitations. But he says there is hope - hope for all of us.
When God is out there somewhere, far away, looking down on us, removed from our pain and suffering - we only have ourselves. But when God is "with us," then we can as Paul says, "Thank God, Jesus will rescue me."
