"Who God? Yeah He Knows It All"

Have you ever felt like no one knows exactly how you feel?  No one knows how much you hurt, how lonely you are, or how difficult your life is?  Actually, I think that most people at one time or another have been convinced that they were all alone; condemned to live their lives in an isolation that only intensifies their condition.  Well, I am here to tell you that those feelings are lying to you.  God is always with you and he understands exactly what you are feeling and what you have been through.  In the New Testament, it says that Jesus felt everything that you have, was tempted in every way like you and that he personally knew the weaknesses that would experience.  And, the Book reasons that because he is so familiar with your past, your emotions, and your dreams, you can boldly approach him to find help when you are in need.  Next time you are wondering if anyone cares, if anyone notices, or if anyone can feel what you feel, stop and realize that Jesus Christ does.  He is right there waiting to encourage you and help you get through your difficult times.  You can approach God with confidence, because He knows what you have been through and He still loves you.

"Don't Wander"

Have you ever been frantically searching for something that you were holding in your hands?  Or, perhaps you have lost your glasses because you failed to remember they were on your head.  Have you ever looked right at someone not realizing they were in the room?   There have been times when I lost sight of God even though he was right in front of me.  Although His presence was near and He was working all around me, I have looked right past him.  Because I have been drinking in the chaos, I have failed to notice that He was right there next to me, wanting to be heard, wanting to be felt, and wanting to benefit my life.  

If you are like me, you might need to slow down and just enjoy being near God.  Don’t neglect him any longer.  Take time and invite him to be a part of your day.
