''nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God'' - Romans 8:39 NKJV
Today today today! We talk about the times we have been upset with God, and indicators experienced when feeling distant from God. One thing to remember is that, even when we feel distant from God, He is always there, right beside us. The enemy will have us believe that in moments we feel distant from God when we feel like God can't hear us, it's because He doesn't love us. But that is in fact false, they are many verses in the bible that affirms God's love for us, a few that I came across when writing this are:
Psalm 94:14 ''For the Lord will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.'' - we need to understand that from the moment we accepted Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we became God's people. God doesn't disown His people, it's not in His nature, so when we feel distant, God still hasn't forgotten us.
Matthew 28: 20 ''I am with you always, even to the end of the age'' - God is always with us, through every aspect, season, decision, and moment of life. The good and the bad.
Revelation 3:20 ''Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.'' - it takes one decision, one cry, one ''God I need you''. What I love about this verse is the beginning, it makes us aware of how close God is to us, and how fast He can enter any situation and help us through it. He is not miles away, He doesn't need any mode of transportation to reach us. He's right there, waiting for us to let Him in.
This just makes me aware of three things, 1. God never forgets His people, He is always thinking about us, about our future, 2. God is always with us in every moment we experience, 3. God wants us to choose to let Him into our lives, into our situations, into the good and bad moments. Life is a journey in which we have the choice to walk through and experience with God.
