Anguish
My heart is so prone to wander away from God. I draw near to Him and cling to His grace, and then forget and chase after vile idols. But if it were not for Him to pursue me, and lay into my heart, there would be no hope. It is so easy to forget the promises of God and despair. It is a fight to hold on to God’s promises and to trust in Him. But He is there every step of the way, even when it feels like He’s miles away, He is still there. He loves me! What a precious truth; one that I often need to be reminded of. And it is the only thing that can get me out of despair, His love. Life is hard, am I terrified of the possibility of becoming homeless, I am in dire need of a job, and I am easily discouraged; but what keeps me going is His love. His love is greater than the highest mountains, deeper than the oceans, His greatest expression of His love is the Cross. He died for me, a wicked man that I am. I cannot fathom it, words can’t do it justice. Pray for me, for it is easy to fall.
