He Tested Me and...

He Tested Me and…..

“I failed.” No, you didn’t fail. The word fail tells you that something is over. It says there isn’t a way back. God always gives you a way back. When you sin, when you are
disobedient , when you began to wander away there’s a way back. God tells us to repent, ask for forgiveness, and come to Him. Don’t waste any time, run to Him. God is the truth and the way: the way back.

Our Father gives us another chance to get it right. He will never give up on you. His word says He will never forsake you. Jesus came to this earth to save you and to heal you. He is here now-in you. He loves you, He directs you and He heals you. Let Him.

He’s telling me that there are some of you who are raggedy and beaten up, who are wandering away from Him. Turn away from the world and come back to Him. Jesus died for us because he knew we would sin. He knew the hurt and pain you would experience in this life. He gave His life for you . His arms are open for your return and he’s telling you that: “You are enough, more then enough.” My dear brothers and sisters run!

I was tested and…..

“I ran to My Father.”

His Loving Arms

His Loving Arms

His loving arms were around you this morning when you woke up.

His loving arms were around you:

When you were tired and didn’t want to face the day.

When you felt the other driver was an idiot.

When you laughed.

When it seemed that no one cared.

When you felt fat.

When you just knew that everything would be all right.

When she didn’t call you back.

When you were eating lunch alone and wanted to share it someone.

When you weren’t sure how to make amends with your spouse.

When you didn’t know if you wanted to apologize.

When you met a friend for dinner.

When you wondered if God still remembered the desires of you heart.

His loving arms are around you period.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
