I have not blogged in quite a long time. I have to admit that it was partially that spiritually I have been struggling. Praise God that he truly runs after his children and loves us all with a love that is unconditional and full of grace and mercy. I sit here tonight wanting to write something that is on my heart. It has been awhile since I have written something that has pierced my heart and that I truly feel is something that everyone needs to hear. Tonight I sent a few dear friends of mine a text message with the message that simply said, “Don't count God out, He has not given up on you!” This was an interesting thing God put on my heart and I feel like He is still pulling my heart with this thought. That is why I write this tonight because we need to remember this.
So often things in life do not make sense and things keep going wrong. We have problems with relationships, with families, with money, and just life in general and it keeps spiraling downward it seems. During these times we feel like we need someone to blame and though we may not blame God personally sometime we can get angry with Him wondering why he seems so distant during these times. Some of us may not have a personal relationship with Christ or just feel like God cannot help us because we are way too dirty and messed up for Him to be able to care. You may feel like the endless pit you are in that there is no way that a God can honestly care for your brokenness. Some people may have such pain inside that even though they look good on the outside, inside they are broken and just screaming out for help.
With whatever you are going through I want you to know that you should never ever count God out, He has not given up on you! God is the only one who can rescue you from the pit you are in. You can try to fill up the void with riches, with pleasures, with drugs, with whatever but at the end of the day you know that the brokenness seems to remain. Once again I say you need to know not to count God out, he has not given up on you. Looking at scripture we see in Isaiah 40 that he says he will renew our strength when we seek him.
Some of you reading this may still be wondering how it is possible that God truly does care. It does not seem like he has ever shown that to me before. My friend I tell you that Christ showed his love and caring for you almost 2000 years ago when he left his thrown in heaven to become a man in order to save that which was lost. We were lost but God sent his son down to live a perfect life and to die for our sins. While Christ was hanging on the Cross dying he demonstrated true love by showing that he would never give up on his Children. Even if that meant going to a cross and dying for us, to demonstrate that. John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” God did not die just for those who seem to have it all together he died so that he could save all. We see that in John 3:16 that God loved the world enough to send his son so that no one would perish.
To wrap this up I want you to know that God has not given up on you. He is constantly running after you. Just like the shepherd in Matthew 18 who left the 99 sheep to find the one who went astray. God is running after you, the question is, are you going to look for him? God cares for you and no matter how life gets, DO NOT COUNT GOD OUT, HE HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON YOU!!!
I pray for you all daily, love you all.
