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
