We are never on our own. Never, never, never! Feeling like it does not make it true. He has said He would never leave us nor forsake us, so that is the real truth. Period. Even when you have just done the most unthinking or unloving thing, He still has not deserted you. You see, our concept comes from our experience. When we have dealt a rotten blow, we have learned that even those who love us will grimace and back up a long way. But the One who made you is not that way. He is not passive or squishy, but He does not need to back up. He is not the God of false balance, but He sits on the Throne of Grace, to which we have free and immediate access. Soldier, did you goof? Don't take yourself so seriously. Put your record and agenda aside, get right, tell the Lord about it, and move on. He is waiting to cleanse and heal, and He will more than make up for the foolish moment if He is invited to do so. |
