I’ve seen miracles that God can do. In my life, and the people I love. He truly is the God of the impossible. But we have to come to realize that life is according to His will, and His plan, not ours, as painful as that may be. If you look carefully at Who God is rather than your circumstance, you will see that He is a loving and compassionate God. He graciously covers us with His compassion. Isaiah 30: 18 … “the Lord longs to be gracious to you… He will rise up to show you compassion.”
Many of us can relate to the verses in the song…… “I’ve seen joy and I’ve seen regret”…. But has God been your God through all of it?
I can honestly say, no…. and that is the worst feeling in the world. It feels like death when you are in a situation in your life where you have no control !! But that was when I didn’t have Jesus Christ as my Savior. I only knew of Him in religion, BIG DIFFERENCE!! Religion is what causes war. It always has, and always will. It is a title, a label with no heartfelt feeling. This is the best way I can describe it in my opinion. A relationship has feeling. There is a heart behind it. You will never find in all your relationships, one like Jesus. That is what He is about, not what religion you are, but if you have a relationship with Him.
When painful situations in life rise up, God is drawing you near to Him. I mean, if life is going perfect, why would you even think you needed Him. Usually in tough painful situations, that’s when a lot of people turn away rather than turn to Him. They say things like, “If God is so loving, why is this happening?” This is a world of good and evil. Choices people make that will either make it pleasant to live, or miserable. That is not God’s fault. Remember, this loving God gave us all free will. Free to choose how to live while we are here. This is not home!
There are few people that I have what I call, a great relationships with. I mean the kind of people you could count on to help you in your time of need no matter what time of the day it is. When they say they are there for you, they really are. When they say they are praying, they really are. I don’t know what I would do without this type of earthly relationship.
That is my relationship with Jesus, anytime, anywhere. It is Who He is. More constant than the stars up in the sky. All these years, all my life. I look back and I see Him, and I still do, and I always will.
Life truly is a journey into eternity. You’ll see joy and you’ll see regret. But I pray He’s your God “Through all of it.”
