Don't Give Up!

Psalm 127 1-3

“Unless the Lord builds the house, it’s builders labor in vain.  Unless the Lord watches the over the city, the watchmen stand still in vain.  In vain you rise early and stay late, toiling for food to eat — for he grants sleep to those he loves.”

If you’re  here it is because you are beginning to questions the idea of an almighty God existing.  Something has happened.  Things did not go according to plan and you’re saying to yourself, I’m supposed to be farther in life, more successful with a better job, higher salary, in a relationship, or perhaps even married.  Things didn’t workout and instead you feel broken, ashamed, and stuck.

I’m here to tell you that “It’s Not Over.”  There is an almighty God of the universe that loves you and cares for you.  I know, I know, it doesn’t feel like it, but that doesn’t make it any less true.  One thing I’ve learned about God is that he is patient.  He is an observer of all things.  He stands next to you, silently watching you as you experience life.  He’s watching his favorite movie and it’s about you.  He knows the beginning and the end and yet he watches with anticipation.  He celebrates your highs and puts arms around you in the lows and comforts you.  He watches because he loves you and hopes that at some point you choose him.  He desires for you to turn to him and trust him.

What are you waiting for?  Do you have other options?  Have you considered what if? What if this is actually true?  How much better would your life be?  Would that change your perspective on your current situation?  I invite you to entertain this possibility and truly lean into getting to know God.

Let go of all the burdens that you’re carrying.  You were never meant to carry the weight of disappointment on your shoulders.  It is his to solve.  Release  them.  Find your way home into his arms.  He is waiting for you.

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”  Psalm 55:22
