HE NEVER GIVES UP ON US

HE NEVER GIVES UP ON US I think We all go Through stages in life Where we give up On God Where we think NOTHING we ever asked for Or nothing we ever wanted Is going to come To us But the TRUTH is Though we do that God NEVER ever Gives up on us He wants ALL good things for us All good things For our life “ONLY goodness and kindness Follow me All the days Of my life” Psalm 23:6 “Ask-and it will be Given to you- Seek and you will find Knock and the door Will be opened to you For everyone who asks- RECEIVES The one who seeks- FINDS And to the one who knocks- The door Will be opened to us” Matthew 7:7-8 and Luke 11:9-10 God wants us To have everything we want In life But he wants us- To want it-HIS WAY The right partner (or the church) The right job- And enough health-to FURTHER his kingdom- The way God wants us To do it His way NOT our own selfish human way “The precepts of the Lord Are right Giving JOY To my heart The commands Of the Lord Are radiant Giving light To the eyes” Psalm 19:8 We may GIVE UP on the Lord Even on ourselves But he NEVER Gives up on us He teaches us the RIGHT way A new way to do things And somehow He does it In a way Working out all things TOGETHER For our own good “And we know That in all things God works for the good Of those who LOVE HIM Who have been called ACCORDING to his purpose” Romans 8:28-29 And in Chapter 15 Of Saint Luke's gospel Luke tells us About Jesus' parable Of one lost sheep- Of one lost coin- And one lost son- Whose father Is just waiting for him To come home- To throw a party Our God NEVER gives up on us We are that One lost sheep- That one lost coin- That one lost son/or daughter Whose father Is just WAITING for us To come home- To throw a party No matter How LOST we are God RUNS to meet us On the road And INVITE us to the party For our God NEVER GIVES UP ON US Robert P.
