While praying tonight, and having time with God. I got this image in my head. An image of God and this girl walking side by side, and God is just loving and caring for this girl, He is giving everything He has to her. He loves her, and wants to protect her with everything in Him. But while they were walking this girl starts to get distant from God. She starts to cling to the material things in life instead of God alone. She sees the things that “look” cooler out in the world, and she starts to want those things instead of the love from Our God.
As they are walking this girl let’s go of God’s hand, and jump in the back of a truck with her “cool” friends. So she thought they were cool. They start driving away slowly, and God lets it happen, because that’s what God does in life. He doesn’t want to stop you from your own choices because He wants you to learn in life, so He watches you drive away slowly, while He is in tears because He just lost His beloved! He just lost His daughter that He loves. But the thing is, is God still loves you even when you run away, or cling to something else instead of your Heavenly Father.
While God was watching her drive away, she sees His tears, but doesn’t want to act uncool and run into His arms, so she goes with her friends. –Do you realize that, that is what we all do at some point in our life? We cling to something other than God? We see something that looks better than God’s love out there and go running after that instead of God. It’s all in the way you view things, and what is your number 1 priority.
While getting this image in my head tonight I’m reminded of a time where I clung to the people in my life and the material things in my life instead of God. I was slowly loosing God, little by little He was leaving my life. Not until He was pretty far away did I realize that I needed to cling to Him again. I need to jump out of that truck, and go running into His arms, and whoever looked at me weird, they were not my true friends, and the friends that shouted praises while I was running to Him…they were my true friends! They were the ones I wanted to keep around for a while.
I want you to remember something…God let’s us make our own choices. He doesn’t like to see us get hurt, or go to bed crying, but He has to let it happen till we ask Him to come into our life again, and we cling to Him. We ask Him to hold us, and never let us go. That is when God steps in and is our shield. He is the one that will protect you from any harm. He loves you right now even if you are out doing bad stuff, He loves us all the SAME! He wants you to go running into His arms, and ask for His love.
Don’t be like this girl in my image, don’t run away from God’s open hands, run TOWARDS them! He will take you no matter how much darkness you have in you, He wants to wash you white as snow, and He wants to be your FOREVER Hero! You may be scared, or think you’re not pretty enough for God to see right now because you have so much sin, but this is the time God wants to take you, He wants to be the one to wash you white as snow. He wants to be the one to cherish you, and love you. Not someone else, not someone that thinks they can fill that spot for you…it’s Our Jesus that wants to do that!
I know it’s not easy to give everything you have to God, because I am still learning. But believe me, He wants to take every challenge, and every struggle, big or small and totally change it around, He wants to repair your life.
Will you let God take control of your life? –Can He be the Hero in your life, for today, tomorrow, and forever? He wants to be! He wants to be the Lover of Your Soul. He wants to adore you, and wipe away all your tears. He wants to forever cherish you.
Just a special thought that my Jesus brought to my attention at 1:30am this morning, while I wanted to sleep, but I know one thing…God is always working! God is all powerful, and He never stops so why should I? :)
