I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU

-There have been times in all of our lives when we have denied, rejected, and not believed in God. The atheist, when questioned about God, with a sarcastic shrug of the shoulders, will surely say that he or she does not believe in God. The answer to mankind, whether a weak Christian, or an atheist is: IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD RIGHT NOW. HE BELIEVES IN YOU!!! Hear it again. HE BELIEVES IN YOU, CARES FOR YOU, HAS CREATED YOU, AND WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU!

-God has formed you in your mother’s womb, and has a purpose for you. He is the potter and we are the clay. He knows what is in the heart of man. He knows it is hard for us to believe in Him at times, for many times we walk by sight and not by faith. Remember Peter? He denied even knowing Jesus, but the Lord knew he would do that, and had already prayed for and forgiven Peter in advance. JESUS BELIEVED IN PETER, EVEN THOUGH AT ONE TIME PETER FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE IN JESUS. Luke 22:31,32 states, … And the Lord said, Simon ( Peter ), Simon, behold Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren … WOW!

-Jesus looked beyond Peter’s failures to the potential that was in Peter down the road. Remember Hebrews 13:5? It states, … For He has said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NOR FORSAKE YOU … STOP basing your experience with God on your performance. He said that He would NEVER LEAVE US. This sounds like someone Who is committed, does it not? He knows that there are going to be times when we operate in unbelief, and struggle to believe Him and in Him. But rest assured. HE BELIEVES IN US ( or you could say that He believes in His ability to bring us through every situation ).

-The Lord loves you, believes in you, has forgiven you, has prayed for you that your faith fail not, will convert you, AND WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU. HE IS WITH YOU …

-ALWAYS!-
