Have you ever felt far away from God?
Have you ever felt so far from Him that you don't think you'll ever be able to mend the broken relationship that was once perfectly put together?
Have you ever wondered "God where did you go? Why did you leave me?"
I have...
But friends, you've got it wrong. I had it wrong.
Our God does not leave us.
Our God does not ignore us.
Our God does not abandon us.
Our God does not give up on us.
Our God is LOYAL.
We are all human which means we all screw up every once in a while. We have all fallen into the pit of sin and we will continue to sin.
"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear."
-Isaiah 59:2
Sin separates us from God.
Have you ever sinned and thought it would be best to not even ask God for forgiveness because you know that you don't deserve it?
I have.
I've hid my face from God because I was ashamed of what I had done. Sin SEPARATED me from my Savior.
BUT our Gods love is LOYAL.
Although we may turn our back from God, our God will NEVER forsake us.
You may think you've done the worst thing in the world. You may believe that you never deserve to be forgiven.
Friends, that is NOT the case.
God created you in his image.
You are his child.
His creation.
He loves you regardless of what you've done.
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace"
-Ephesians 1:7
When you feel like you're falling to pieces.
When the ground is falling out from under you.
Your God will STILL be with you.
If you feel as though God has turned His back on you, it's not Him... It's you.
I realize that it's hard.
Climbing out of the pit of sin is no easy task but I can assure you if you will only look up Gods hand is reaching out to pull you back up.
You don't have to be alone
You NEVER have to be alone.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
-Deuteronomy 31:6
His love is Loyal...
