“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” That is God’s promise to us found in Hebrews 13 verse 5. Let that sink in. Never. Never alone. Never facing life by yourself. God will never turn away – God will never walk away – God will never give up on you.
That is not to say we cannot turn away from God. In fact, when we do turn away from God and choose our own way we find it is most often the starting point of our pain and troubles. We have it in our nature to try and do it on our own. It is inherent. Think about small children as they learn to do things. I can remember each of my boys saying, “Me do it.” It is a part of our makeup to want to do things for ourselves – to be independent.
God created us with a desire for independence so there is nothing wrong with that but it causes problems when we begin to think we don’t need God. The farther we allow our hearts to get from God, the more often we choose paths that lead no where.
But, the good news is that God will never leave us and God never gives up on us.
So regardless of how far you have run or how long you have been away, God is still right there with you. Peace and grace is only a prayer away.
Be blessed today!
