God Knows You
Our God knows we sin and make mistakes, but God is a forgiving God.
Our God is a forgiving God...forgiving each of us for our trespasses if
we will but ask Him and turn away from our sin. God does not want to
hand out a punishment to us because our God is a God who loves us. When
we pray, we can feel and experience His love and forgiveness inside our
heart.
God is now and has always been within your heart. He has been within
your heart no matter how bad your suffering might have been. In
suffering, you have a great battle in being responsive to God because
your suffering is the result of Satan's attempt to separate you from
God. However, especially in your suffering, your God is a personal God
who wants to be alive inside of your heart and life.
No matter how it seems, in suffering, God is not impersonal or far
away. God is personal and He knows our name. God is personal and He
loves us even if, in our suffering, we doubt Him and turn away from Him.
How can this be? Is not God's continual love for us even when we turn
away the greatest wonder of all time? Is not the greatest wonder of all
time God would love us in spite of our behavior against Him?
God does not condemn us with darkness and suffering. Instead, God
wants us out of the darkness and suffering. God does not punish us with
the darkness. He wants us out of the darkness and into the Light. The
darkness of pain, suffering, loneliness, and isolation is not an act of
God.
Most importantly, God can use your darkness in powerful ways. God
can, if you let Him, use the darkness to inspire you to turn to the
Light, to change your life, to give you a place in eternity.
