Lamentations 3:28-32 (The Message)
“When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don’t ask questions. Wait for hope to appear. Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face. The “worst” is never the worst.
Why? Because God won’t ever walk out and fail to return.”
Our Father is never going to give up on us! What an amazing thought.
There is a God who accepts just the way we are, imperfections and all, and He wants nothing more than relationship with us. He knows we are going to mess up, but He doesn’t care. He is always willing to forgive and forget. No one else in this crazy mixed up world will ever understand us the way He does. He knows everything about us, whether we like it or not. He knows what is best for our lives, even better than we think we do. All He wants is a relationship with us, is that so much to ask? Why do we constantly run and hide from the only one who will always be there - the one who waits for us to come to Him. Our creator, our Savior, knows we are a work in progress, He knows that we are going to fail, but He continues to love us and show us His amazing grace.. As soon as we fall, He is there to pick us right back up! His love his unceasing and will never change!
So, what to do with all of this? Return the favor! That’s least you can do! Love Him back! Talk to Him as much as you can! Worship Him. Serve Him. Praise Him. Live according to His plans and do what He tells you to! It seems so simple, yet we aren’t doing it!
God, what a privilege it is to serve you! To worship and love you! I thank you for being a God of grace and forgiveness. For taking us back even when no one else would! Father, I praise you for Your abundant love for me! My prayer today is that I would daily be reminded of what You have done, what You are doing, and what only You will do in days to come!
