I Will Never Leave You!

Has anyone you love, left you? And how about rejection. Has anyone ever rejected you? I am sure most of us have had these things happen in some form or another during our life time.

We know there are many people that completely reject God all together. But I am not speaking of those people in this post.

Rather I am speaking of those that have accepted Christ and then after a time, turn away from him and go back into the sin that they did before they accepted Christ.

God's love note for today is that he will never leave or forsake us.

I know of people that have done it. I have been one of those that had done it. It doesn't take much to see some people that have been well known evangelists fall back into the devil's trap. We know that he goes after those that preach God's word more then any other. To make Christianity look bad to the world.

But there is good news. God's love is unconditional. I believe that if a person was truly saved at one point and then left God to go back to a sinful life, that he will pursue them and preserve their souls until they go back to him. Hebrews 13:5 and Psalm 121:7

If we look at David's life, and all the things he did. Those kinds of struggles that the men of at that time and still are struggling with. And yet he is known as a man that was "after /God's own heart"
When he sinned with Bathsheba, God could have rained down fire from heaven to destroy him for his indiscretion, if he had wanted to. God could have taken offense at it. Do we think David's actions could have embarrassed God?

Not on you life. Why would God have let David's and Bathsheba's story in his Holy Book? Maybe it was to embarrass David? Nope.

David was truly repentant after he had had Bathsheba's husband killed and slept with her and gotten her pregnant. Read what he prayed to God after the fact....

"Create in me a clean heart; Oh God. And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence , and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit." Psalm 51:10-12

And so what did God do about that prayer? He completely dismissed Davids plea for God to restore his relationship with him. Right?

No. God restored David's relationship to him because his love is unconditional. And until that prayer actually went up to the ears of God, he preserved him from any evil that could keep David on the enemies turf.

And I believe he still wants to do that for those of us today that have truly asked him to forgive our sins. He wants no man to perish but all to come to repentance and he is waiting for those that have not yet come. 2 Peter 3:9.

But we must not wait too long for there will come a time when it will be too late. For those that wants to put God off for awhile, they could wait too long and they will then have no excuse. Don't let it be you, my Friend.

Thanks for coming by today Friends. God bless you today and everyday!
