when the hand of God seems missing in your life

not all days are a bed of roses. not all days are a happy one. there will be days that you would want to cry out in pain, or punch someone out of anger. there are days you will praise God for the blessings and there will be days that you will question God for the storms. most of us only sees God when we are happy, joyful or blessed. most of us fail to see that God is still there, He is still God even when we are sad, hurt or angry.

His power as God is not dependent on the number of people He has made happy for a day nor is it measurable by the number of prayers He answered in a day. in fact, when you really know who God is, you will say He makes everyone in His creation happy and joyous every day. He even answers every big and small prayers we have for Him. His power is not dependent on our circumstances nor is it diminished by out situations. His power as God is never ending, never lacking, and never too short to reach you.

some of us thinks that whenever we sin, God does not love us anymore. so untrue. inspite and despite of our sins, He still loves us unconditionally. the cross is enough proof. even before the present generation was bborn, even before we committed our sins, God had already forgiven every one of them by giving us the life of His ONE AND ONLY SON. He gave us the blood of His precious Son as ransom for our transgressions and to cleanse us of all our iniquities. Thats how much He loves us. His love is not dependent on the number of sins we have, nor on the number of times we stumbled and bounced back. His love will always depend on His overflowing love for all of His creation, and from His unchanging state. His love yesterday is still the same today and tomorrow.

when you feel like His hands are missing from your life, think again. He is everywhere. He is in every tiny detail of your life, of your day, of your circumstances. it's not that He left you to ponder things on your own, to solve problems on your own or to sulk in your little corner alone. He is always there, interested in every little detail of your day, of your problem or dilemma and He is just waiting for you to talk to Him. to surrender everything to Him. its not that He does not trust your capabilities to solve the situation, its just that He loves you so much He does not want to burden you anymore with solving the situation. He just wants you to talk to Him and tell Him, "God i cannot do this anymore. can you please take over?" thats all that He's been waiting to hear from you.He was just waiting for you to look at Him and just like a kid, tell Him you want Him to take care of things. He does not want you to be burdened, He wants you to be overjoyed. Overjoyed with the fact that having Him, having Christ in your life is already more than enough blessing that no amount of problems and difficult situations can ever put you down. so the next time that the enemy whispers lies in your ear that God wants to burden you with problems, tell this to Luci, "hey Luci,it's funny how jealous you are that God is never letting go of my hand. you are so jealous that inspite and despite of, He still loves me unconditionally. i may let go of His hands but you know pretty well that HE WILL NEVER LET GO. thats why you want to spoil my day, to ruin my future and to snatch from me the joy that He has placed in my heart."

so keep this in mind the next time you get in a tough situation. GOD WILL NEVER LET GO OF YOUR HANDS BECAUSE HE IS PRESENT EVERY MINUTE, EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIFE. IN ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE, HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT YOU, YOUR LIFE, YOUR PROBLEMS WHILE HE IS ALSO CONCERNED WITH ME AND EVERYBODY ELSE. THE GOOD PART THERE, NO MATTER HOW MANY BILLION PEOPLE THERE ARE IN THE PLANET, HE IS PRESENT IN ALL OF OUR LIVES. WE JUST FAIL TO SEE HIM, FEEL HIS PRESENCE, AND TO SEE HIS HAND REACHING OUT TO YOU.
