Jesus said over and over again that He came for the broken, the bad, the addicted, the bound, the deceived, the lost, the hurting. He doesn’t reject you. He listens. He gets it.

“How it must break His heart when we walk around so desperate for the kind of love He waits to give us each and every day.”

Do you ever why it seems like everyone around you seems to have everything all together? Like in a short amount of time everything has changed? So and so just graduated with a masters in this, they just got engaged, married, had a child, got their dream job, bought a house, a car, etc. The list goes on.

A part of me wants to be jealous.. “why does all this ‘good’ stuff seem to be happening to everyone but me?” but then I just sit back and realize I am not in the same season as them. Right now God has me in a specific season of life, and it’s not the same as the next person’s. And I need to be okay with this.

God is the only reason I made it this far.

When the Bible says “do not lean on your own understanding,” the Bible is being serious. Your heart is deceitful, your emotions fluctuate, your understanding does not see the overall, big picture.

God never lies, God never changes, God knows all

Things that won’t get you to Heaven:

  • Going to church every Sunday
  • Mission trips
  • Signing your name on a card
  • Becoming a member of a church
  • Simply saying a few words after a preacher/priest
  • Good works
  • Your parents being Christians

What will get you to Heaven:

  • Jesus

I can’t stop thinking about Elijah sitting underneath the juniper tree & asking God to die.  God sent an angel who says, “This journey is too much for you.” & that he must eat. Elijah does, then he rests.  He wakes up still feeling hopeless, & the angel repeats himself.  

It took Elijah longer than he wanted to get better.  Sometimes we want to move but we can’t.  Sometimes the journey is too much.  It is not a sin to understand your limitations.  Start there, get stronger, then get up.
