Forgotten

“Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.” 1 Peter 4:12-13 MSG

Do you feel as if God has forgotten you? Do you feel as though God doesn’t love you anymore?

When you became a Christian, it did not mean that you would be exempt from troubles, though it does assure you divine assistance in the midst of them. The trials God allows you to go through are meant to refine you. They are there to bring about the glorious life that God has for you. 

No, God hasn’t forgotten you, that would go against His nature, and He isn’t mad at you, He loves you with an everlasting love. 

Learn to trust the Lord in the midst of hard times remembering they are both temporary and they are there to make you into the person God designed you to be. 

Spend some time consecrating yourself to the Lord. Give all of yourself over to Him. No, really, gave to Him all the things you are struggling with. Ask Him to help you trust in His goodness and His love for you. Now sluff off the sadness you’ve been carrying around and go offer hope to someone else who is struggling.
