When we're down, hurting, confused, lonely, feeling rejected, God doesn't reject us. He doesn't kick us when we're down. Instead, He comes down to where we are and enters our pain. He makes it His own. He cries with us. He hurts with us. He takes on our sorrows and pains and carries them. And He carries us. Even if the darkness is of our own making. Even if the ditch we're lying in is one we chose to crash into through our own poor choices.
The prodigal son's poor choices never caused the father to stop calling him the son. And our poor choices never negate the grace of God over our life. He accepts us based on His own love and Jesus' perfect performance. We are SAFE in that love and will never be abandoned or rejected or disowned, no matter how low we seem to sink. His is a love that will never let us go.
Praise God that when we're down and can't get up to God, He shows us He has come down to us, and won't leave us till He lifts our head up high again. Praise God He is the bearer of our burdens and the lifter of our heads! Praise God He is the healer of our wounds and hurts.
Praise God for grace that won't leave us, no matter what!
With love from
