There's something i learned recently, whenever we're faced with any
challenge in life, the first thought that comes to mind is "we're alone,
we're abandoned" or we tell ourselves God has left us either because of
something we did or didn't do. But thank God it is not the case because God
will never leave us neither will he forsake us. We are in Him and He is in us
in a union closer that close; we are One. He is our Father and we are His sons,
we belong to Him. It's important to know that your efforts to love God is not
as important as accepting His love for you.
God is love, He does not have love, Love is the essence of His being and
we're saved by His love for us; His unconditional acceptance of us. God's love
for us is certainly by no means passive. He does not observe our plight and
suffering from a distance, He feels our pain. The fact that the Father and the
Son are one, the pain of the Son is the pain of the Father. The best part is
that mercy is God reaching out to us in His love in a personal manner. God's
mercy speaks of the actions God takes because of His love for you. God is
merciful towards you, He takes you and treats with as though He was treating
with Himself (Ephesians 2:4-5, 1 John 4:19). God our Father feels, He looks at
you and feels your pain. He is touched with the feelings of your infirmity. He
feels your fragility and so do not think of yourself for a moment that you are
alone or forsaken. You
have not been left to yourself.
The Father looks at you and is touched by the feeling of your problems
and tribulations. He feels your pain, situation, fragility and frustration. His
heart is broken when you shed tears. The TCNT of Hebrews 4:15-16 puts it this
way "Our High Priest is not one unable to sympathize with our weaknesses
but one who has in every way been tempted, exactly as we have been, but without
sinning. Therefore, let us draw near boldly to the Throne of Love, and find
pity and love for the hour of need". Never forget that the Father is not
tired of helping you. If you believe in the mercy of God and believe the Lord
Jesus has been touched with the feeling of your infirmity, you will know that
as His mercies are new every morning, every day, He will feel what you feel and
fill you. "The term "infirmities" refers to human frailty, especially
the inability to achieve divine results. It speaks of the feebleness of body or
mind, by implication, malady or even moral frailty. "The Spirit helps us
in our infirmities" is the Greek phrase "sunantilambano" the
Spirit Himself, takes hold of us, in our frailties, in the midst of our
inability to obtain divine results and stands against that which is an obstacle
to us" Dr Shawn Smith
You are a son of God; Jesus Christ has included you in His Sonship. You
are not an orphan. The Father is not ashamed of you or what you have done; He
divinely locates you in Christ; you are in Him. He liberates you from every
form of shame, reproach and disgrace (Romans 10:11). Glory to God! God planned
your life personally. He elected you, chose you, predestined you, sanctified
you through the Gospel regenerated you and equipped you (Matthew 6:27-30). You
are God's product, His work of art- His masterpiece. Your unreserved acceptance
in the Beloved has made you prominent and distinguished among men.
You are Blessed!
