You are never forsaken
God said, “I have chosen you, and not cast you away.” Isaiah 41:9
You are not forgotten, never forsaken.
Chosen before the beginning of time.
You are beloved, the apple of his eye, accepted in His son, and cherished by His own heart.
He is my God who sits on His throne and reigns forevermore.
He gives rest to the weary.
He brings calm to the confused.
He is light when there is darkness.
He is hope for the lost, a friend to the singular, home to the homeless.
And He gives eternal life to those who are perishing.
He is altogether lovely.
He is my friend; He is my Savior.
He is my God who sits on His throne and reigns forevermore.
Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
When the cold, dank scene of aloneness is the only place found where you head can rest; it is time to call upon the Lord.
Remembrance is a precious gift of honoring those loved, respected, cherished, or merely liked.
It is the act of looking back and preserving moments, words spoken, and actions taken.
The bitter sting of loneliness sets in when you are lost within a crowded sphere.
Your deeds are not mentioned.
Even your existence seems to be wiped clean from the memory of friends.
When the cold, dank scene of aloneness is the only place found where your head can rest.
It is time to call upon the Lord.
The One who forgives sins and wipes away all tears from your eyes.
The One who gives comfort to the brokenhearted, healing to the disparaged soul, brings cheer to the sorrowing,
And yet all the while promising never to leave or forsake you.
His love is real because He can never forget to remember.
“I formed you; you are my servant…you shall not be forgotten of me.” Isaiah 44:21
Fear not…I have called you by name, you are mine.
His eyes are upon you.
His ears are open to your cries.
He knows all about you, all that you are, good or bad.
And all that you will be makes no difference.
The holy One surrounds you with favor like a shield.
He carries you on his shoulders.
He loves you with an everlasting love,
and calls you by name.
He never sleeps.
He never slumbers.
Our God is present, forever and always.
“Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper: the Lord is your shade upon your right hand. The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.” Psalm 121:4-7
“For thou, Lord, will bless the righteous; with favour will thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1
He hears and answers every prayer.
Nothing is too hard or too small to waken the ears of God.
He hears and answers every prayer.
With God all things are possible.
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
He works behind the scenes doing the impossible to make things possible for you.
The bank is calling in your loan; you cannot meet the payments.
The doctor gave you bad news.
A loved one died; how can you possibly go on with your life.
You feel depressed, alone, and confused.
Whatever the problem, your life is spiraling out of control.
Don’t worry; lift up your voice and call on the Lord.
He will answer and go before you and make a way where there is no way.
He will carve out that perfect path.
A different way that you cannot see or imagine exists.
Fear not; he works behind the scenes doing the impossible to make things possible for you.
His ways are perfect.
His ways are secret.
His ways are past finding out.
“I will go before you, and make crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut in sunder the bars of iron; and I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I am God.” Isaiah 45:2, 3.
Ask and it shall be given you
In Him is the abundance of life, of soul, of body, of joy.
Not to worry, He will provide for all your needs.
Not one good thing will He withhold.
Take hold of this promise.
Claim it as your own.
Retell it in your mind.
Engrave it on your heart.
Soon without a doubt, you will understand what He means when He calls you; “beloved” because all His desires are towards you.
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7 and 8
(reference verses: Psalm 84:11, Song Solomon 7:10, John 10:10, Philippians 4:19)
He pays back
He pays back.
Don’t get mad.
Don’t get even.
God said, “Vengeance is mine. I will repay.” Romans 12:17-19
He is your champion
Where there is envy, that green-eyed monster called jealousy follows close behind.
When those around you form false opinions about you, make wrong accusations about your actions and motives.
Or if bullies rise in strength against you and no one listens to your plight, always remember what the Lord said:
“No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn.” Isaiah 54:17
you shall be the head and not the tail
Negativity does not bring prosperity
And the Lord shall make you the head and not the tail; and you shall be above only and you shall not be beneath. Deuteronomy 28:13
