JOURNAL-NEVER ABANDONED




“I have been with you WHEREVER you went........” 2 Samuel-7-9


SINCE BIRTH-there has NEVER been a time that God was not present in your life-sometimes though we FEEL like we are all alone in this world-but the TRUTH is that can never happen-That is the beauty
of JESUS' COMING to live in us-he will never leave us for anything-HE LEAVES the HOLY SPIRIT-the SPIRIT OF LOVE to dwell INSIDE of us


THIS YEAR-and every year-as we approach the birth of of Jesus-the SCRIPTURES remind us that we are never alone and NEVER ABANDONED-so SLOW yourself down-pay ATTENTION to God-and come to KNOW Jesus-our ETERNAL COMPANION and comforter-who is with us-EVERY STEP-along life's journey


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in God's LOVE for us-and a great day to KNOW that we are never abandoned-and that we are NEVER ALONE








NEVER ABANDONED


Do you ever feel
That you
Have SO disappointed God
That he has given up
On you


WHY
Maybe because
That you feel
That you have not lived up
To the teachings of Jesus


Or you commit
The same stupid sin
Over and over again


I have
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU
It CAN'T happen
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN


Because God
Is madly in love
WITH YOU


“For the Lord
Will NOT cast off
His people
NOR ABANDON-his inheritance” Psalm 94:14


SELF-DOUBT
Is a terrible thing
It can cause you
To give up
On yourself


It is a terrible feeling
And something I did have
MANY many years ago


But the truth is
GOD NEVER
Gave up on me


He found me
And if you are BROKEN
He can and will FIND YOU


The truth is
God's love for you
Is independent
Of your performance
As a BELIEVER


He-GOD
BELIEVES in you


“For the Lord
Your God
Is a MERCIFUL God


He will not abandon
Or destroy you


Or forget the covenant
Of your forefathers


Which he CONFIRMED to them
By oath” Deuteronomy 4:31




Self-doubt-lack of faith
Is a terrible thing


WHEN things
Are at their worst
It is natural
To feel abandoned


EVEN JESUS-the MOST FAITHFUL person whoever lived
Ans GOD'S SON
Just before he died said,


“MY God-my God
WHY did you abandon me?” Matthew 27:46


But God-HIS FATHER-resurrected him
And BUILT him back up To where
He has billions of believers
In today's world


And OUR Lord and OUR GOD
WILL NEVER abandon you


He is an ENCOURAGER
He is the GOD OF LIFE
And wants to RESURRECT your life
To TRIUMPH over all


“But you-DEAR FRIENDS
Build yourselves up
In YOUR most holy faith
And PRAY in the HOLY SPIRIT” Jude :20


Dear Lord-we pray
And we KNOW


That you will NOT cast off
Any of your people


Please give us
The faith of a MUSTARD SEED
And the confidence
Of your ENDURING LOVE


TO KNOW
That you would
NEVER ABANDON US
For any reason whatsoever
