He loves you so much.
He just wants the best for you.
When we choose to turn away from God, we will always suffer a loss.
And trust me, the pain will come.
There is pain when we lose things that were gained when God wasn't in the picture.
Like a relationship that ended, because God wasn't at the center.
God is jealous for you. Did you know that?
Like a mother to her child, God would love to just take the pain away,
to suffer for us so that we don't have to.
But in suffering you grow. you mature. you're refined. you find yourself.
You learn.
You change.
And there is beauty from the ashes.
God takes what was meant for bad, and uses it for good.
He has that power.
Impossible things are done in the name of Jesus.
He can take the pain, and make something beautiful.
Turn our messes into masterpieces.
He is loving you right now.
I know you've heard the word "love" thrown around in your life.
many times you've heard "I love you" without the actions to prove it.
But God's love is different.
He loves you always. relentlessly. unconditionally. totally. fully. always.
And unlike people, God will never ever leave you.
He is loving you right now, in this battle.
He feels your pain.
He knows your heart.
He counts your tears.
He's watching you. and his heart breaks for you.
But you just have to trust Him with this.
Ask Him for that trust.
He's taking care of you, in this battle.
every minute of every day. do you realize that?
He loves you so much.
He's right here taking care of you. and he wants to give you His best.
He wants you to have all that he planned for you. his plans, not yours.
and His plans are the best anyway.
God is loving. caring. faithful. just. righteous. powerful. good. so good.
Know his characteristics. learn who God it is. It will help you.
Don't forget that God is loving you right now, in this battle you're going through.
and He will be faithful to you no. matter. what.
you are right where he wants you to be.
there is freedom in His name.
He can free you from whatever you are in bondage to. whatever you are stuck to.
do you feel claustrophobic? are you in captivity?
God brings freedom.
He will deliver you.
but He will deliver you in His timing, not yours.
Do you realize that he could instantaneously deliver you right now?
if he really wanted to, he could deliver you in an instant.
But sometimes that's not the point.
What does he need you to get out of this? what is He needing you to get??
trust.
He knows what He is doing.
Remember who you're dealing with here. the God who created you.
Can you say, "God you're good enough for me, no matter what I go through." ?
Yes there are bad things happening, but I cling to you.
I know you love me.
I know you want to be with me.
We have our own definition of need, but God is already fulfilling our true needs.
He knows what we need right now.
And you want to know the best part?
God is not uncertain about anything. He is certain.
God is not worried, he is not unsure.
God is certain about you. He knows His plans for you. He knows everything about you.
Just know that God loves you. real love. never leave your side love. rescue you love.
And while you suffer He is right there loving you.
teaching you.
shaping you.
molding you.
changing you.
healing you.
and it's all for your good.
