8:24
For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
8:31
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us
8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
8:33
Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
8:34
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Proverbs 11:20
“The LORD... delights in those whose ways are blameless.”
I am confident that the Lord will say, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" Why? Not because I'm perfect, but Jesus has forgiven and cleansed me and the Holy Spirit is working to perfect my behavior to match my standing before God.
I don't know about you, but I am thankful to know that we can bring the LORD delight. Just like our children can bring us delight. Just like a good desert can bring us delight. Just like a beautiful sunset enjoyed with someone we love brings us delight.

"To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living."
