You're not alone.

My heart has like any others, ached. But in His love, has been renewed.
At Elevate earlier this month, Pastor Bert spoke about fear, and being afraid to let God close to our hearts. So I ask, why are we SO afraid ? He already knows our thoughts, our fears and wishes. Why do we push Him away ? Why can't we live to know He who has created us ?
We need to replace that fear, with Faith. God never forsakes us, nor does He let go of us. He is the beat of our hearts, the breath in our lungs. He's the all powerful, healer and Creator I've come to know.
"Because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory."
- Romans 8:14-17.
("Abba" is Aramaic for Father)
He heals brokenness and replaces sorrow with joy. He silences weeping with smiles. He takes what man has broken and makes it beautiful.
His perfect love casts out fear & in the storms of this life, we need not turn back, know He is near. Fear no evil, God is with you. You are never alone !
So I pray tonight, for all those hearts who have wandered off their path and have lost sight of God. Those who have given up. Those hearts who push Him away or do not know Him. I pray you open your hearts to His light, and you will never be the same.
