It’s amazing that we feel God has forgotten us sometimes,
especially when we go through struggles, hardships, trials or temptations.
God knows: how many hairs we have on our heads, when a leaf
as unimportant as it seems falls to the ground and he also knows when a tiny
little bird drops dead. Mathew 10:30 If he knows all these little details, how
much more about you and I that were created in his very image and likeness.
Isaiah 49:15 “Can
a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the
son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.”It may seem cloudy, like walking through a thick
forest with no marked paths or probably like we are surrounded with gross
darkness. At these points when we do not know what to do or where to go, it is
very soothing to remember what proverbs
4:18 says “But the path of the just is as the shining
light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Today might not be
great and tomorrow might not be certain but just keep going, God has got you.
Jeremiah 29:11 for I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future.
Psalm
103:17 but from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who
fear him and his righteousness with their children's children. If his love is
forever, we should never doubt, even for a moment that we are loved so deeply
and dearly by God.
His
love for us makes us conquer all things and nothing can separate us from that
love God has for us, even at our darkest moments. Oh! If only we knew how much.
I doubt this kind of love is something we can easily grasp. It is never ending,
so high, so deep, so wide and so powerful! Romans 8:37-39
37 No, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through
him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced
that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither
the present nor the future, nor
any powers, 39 neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate
us from the love of God that
is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Oh!
If we only knew a little bit of how much He loved us, we would like David say yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalm
23:4 this love is over whelming.
Even
in the worst of situations-loss of a loved one, financial difficulties,
emotional traumas, academic struggles and any other shadow of death, fixing our
eyes on Jesus and His love for us would be more than enough to sustain us.
True
love is proven by sacrifice. You cannot be sure of just how much someone loves
you until you have seen the sacrifice made by the person to have you. There’s
no doubt in God’s love for us because He has already given His precious son.
What then can’t he give us when we ask? Hebrews 4:16 Let
us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.
Isn’t
it very easy to be kind to a person who is kind to us and dislike a person who
dislikes us? So also, it’s easy to love one who first loved us. 1 john 4:19 We love because he first loved us
Lastly,
all things, every single darn thing (even though it might not look like it) works
together for the good of those who love God. Romans 8:28
Probably,
it ”seems” like everything is working
against you, “seems” like nothing is going right and like everything has
failed. Against all hope, choose to believe in hope, in the love Christ has for
you and like Peter, walk on water with your heart steadfast on Jesus.
Rest in His unchanging love
God bless you!!!
