For those of us who have called on the Lord to be saved, believed that Jesus is the One, true God of the Bible (1 John 5:1) Father, Son, and Spirit in One; and who have recognized our sin and called out to a Savior; who promised He would be there waiting for us and knowing we were coming---undefeated in His victory with raising us up (John 6:37)... Rejoice!
Whether life is hard or easy right now, and we all go through these seasons in life, rejoice!
Nothing can ever separate you from the love of God. So, your life didn't turn out exactly how you thought. So the fall and this wicked world have left scars. Evil people have hurt you and you have been persecuted for righteousness sake. You have seen your miserable sin and cried out with a contrite and broken spirit.
I'm here to tell you, God will never leave you. God can never lie. Its in the Bible . Jesus died on the cross and was victorious over it all. Anything and everything was defeated there. And He rose again the 3rd day.
If you are still on earth, pray. Why does God have you here? Are you supposed to heal with someone? Are you supposed to take in an orphan? - No really- are you? Are you supposed to carry out your calling as a spouse and parent with joy? Are you supposed to take a risk? Are you supposed to just be thankful for God in the little things each day (hot water for hygiene, water to drink, food, clothes, shelter). Are you supposed to stay right where you are and plant your feet trusting in Christ, regardless if understanding why or not?
The Holy Spirit can never fight against Himself. Those God draws, He will raise up. John 6:37 God is not divided, Never, never.
We can't always see His love and the good in things (even if we've fallen in sin). But child of God, He will always carry you. Discipline you- yes out of love. Harsh discipline- maybe. Stop Loving you? Never! Never! The Child of God will respond to His parental love and discipline and proddings.
We can wish so many things were healed. We can wish we could undo so many things and put so many things back together. Well, God can. If it is God's will, He will make a way. He will heal in purity, love, and righteousness .
Never stop calling on Jesus. Whether life has been amazing for me, or severely broken, I've always had a Father. I used to laugh with Him at 3 years old in prayer. I told Him how I wanted my heavenly mansion to look. Every night I'd go over the details with God. I want a huge swimming pool etc.
We should have a child's heart and attitude. Children are a glimpse of Heaven. Our society thinks children are a burden; they are not! They are always and always will be a gift from God Himself. Psalm 127:3. Any child given to you by the Father of good gifts- never unchanging- is a gift. A sweet, heavenly, precious gift.
So, whether you just sit and talk with God in this season and rest on His promises; whether you go out to work the fields, or stay right where you are and work hard to please the Lord minding your own business and living a simple and quiet life - 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, (Our family's goal) .... goodness is here. His name is Jesus. He is the ultimate gift. He is the ultimate healer. No person can heal you. Ever. Only one can heal you, the Messiah. His name is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He does miracles and still does miracles today. He can do the impossible.
