Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
- Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NKJV)
Everyone is familiar with Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
But did you know there is more?
There is more!!
Often, we hear people ask, “Where was God when this happened?” because as humans we tend to forget that He is with us always, even when bad things happen.
God is always there.
God does not “let” bad things happen.
When you shut Him out, you are doing the exact thing that the devil wants you to do.
Believe me when I say that God has never left your side.
God loves us so very much and it hurts Him when His precious children shut the door to our hearts to Him.
Tenth Avenue North’s song “By Your Side” says a lot:
Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying?
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching?
As if I'm not enough
To where will you go, child?
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run?
'Cause I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands at my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I wanna give you life
God is always there.
We don’t have to look far when we seek Him, He is waiting for us to let Him into our hearts.
Where is God? He is right beside us, all we need to do is ask Him to come in.
Please, let Him back in.
