God Can't Sleep


"Life is a broken road. For some the road becomes too much to
bear. The constant jarring and unexpected turns drain their
souls. They give up somewhere along the way. The give up on
love, they give up on their futures, they give up on God. But
know this: It's God's road for your life. You don't walk alone.
The Christ walks with you." Palmer Chinchen, PhD



That is so true. We have all known people who gave up some where along the way. Even those who you visited with at church on Sunday ~ then, went missing for the next few weeks. Those who come every once in a while as they drift farther and farther away. Until it is easier not to come at all. Maybe their journey got too hard. Maybe they became more like the world...loved more of the world...than those things of God. For everyone has a different story and face a different circumstances. It is not for me to know. Yet, there is one thing that is true.

You don't walk alone. It does not matter where you are right now. You could be floating high or down in the valley. God is there through it all. The one constant that is true. At times, it is hard to feel His presence but it is not because He has moved. He is like the sun in the center of everything. We are the ones in constant movement physically and emotionally. We are the ones that have moved away. Or too clouded by our circumstance to feel His love and strength.

So, even in those moments...don't give up on your faith. Keep going. One prayer at a time. God understands the cries of your heart ~ even when words are cannot be formed. Believe that God has a plan for your life. Through those moments ~ He is molding you into the person your supposed to be. And, His is walking beside you through the difficulties until you reach the other side.



"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms" ~ Deuteronomy 33:27
