Never abandoned.


Romans chapter 8 verses 36 and 37.
"No, for the Scriptures tell us that for His sake we must be ready to face death at every moment of the day---we are like sheep awaiting slaughter; but despite all this, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ whom loved us enough to die for us."


The above Scripture starts our with "No". That means it is making a statement as to a question being asked.
   That question is our own emotions and feelings asking if we have been abandoned by God. God will never leave us. He is always there with us waiting for us to stop being led by our own ambitions and desires and to turn to Him seeking His love and help.
   Are we whiners and criers? You bet we are! It is so easy to feel abandoned, like we are left alone to deal with our issues. Why is that, when we have come to God seeking His help and protection?  Ask yourself if you have come to God for His love or have you just come to use Him with the expectations that He will always be there to save you.
   God wants our love, not for us to use Him. A good example could be our parents. They are to guide you and teach you as you grow and as the world temps you with desires, they are expected to  discipline you with the right guidance, that will keep you from making the wrong decisions.
   You may get angry and you may be blinded as to their reasons, but their experience and knowledge is used with the best intentions of helping you stay focused and prevent you from failure. The same is with God. You trusted your parents and even though you felt abandoned for a moment in time, their love never left you because you are their child.
   So whether you followed your own decisions or took their advice, You found them always there ready to help you again. You are not alone! God is there and He is waiting for you to come to Him. He will show you Jesus and you will know what it means to belong to His family.
   God is an eternal love and joy that will fill your thoughts with purpose and belonging. You heart will burst with love for Jesus. You will seek God's word daily to guide you and help you with helping others know and understand what you have found in God.
   God's Holy Spirit lives within you and lets you know all the time that you are strong enough to overcome even the most trying, toughest, of temptations or desires. For you are no longer alone but living in the presence of God. And all because you are thankful for Jesus and believe in God's love for you.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and a life where You are always there hearing our praise of thanksgiving and love. 😊 

Psalms chapter 34 verses 9 and 10.
If you belong to the Lord, reverence him; for everyone who does this has everything he needs. Even strong young lions may go hungry, but those who reverence the Lord will never lack any good thing."

Ephesians chapter 5 verses 17 and 18.
Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to find out and do whatever the Lord wants you to. Don't drink to much wine, for many evils lie along that path; be filled instead with the Holy Spirit, and controlled by Him."

John chapter 4 verse 35 and 36.
The Father loves this man because He is His Son, and God has given Him everything there is. And all who trust Him---God's Son---to save them have eternal life."
