This week I want to bring God’s perspective about you to your attention. The last few posts I’ve presented how you should approach the Father, today I want to present how the Father sees you. Sometimes we don’t feel comfortable going to God about certain things, because frankly we don’t think that God would find that important. The scripture I want to highlight today is about God being concerned with you.
“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18:12-14 NIV
At no point in your life has God left your side or has let you wander off and didn’t keep his eyes off of you. I compare it to taking children to a park, you may not hover over them as they play, but you’re always mindful of where they are and ready to step in if they run into trouble. That’s how God is with you. Sometimes, we compare our journey with others and think maybe God loves them more, cause they’ve been walking the straight and narrow their whole life. God doesn’t have favorites, He loves us all personally and to a measurement we cant even understand. I want you to really read through this scripture and find relation to your life. This helped me and is helping get through shame about past events. During these times in my life I would disconnect from God, try to hide myself away. But God never and will never give up on us, as much as we try to hide or not acknowledge Him, because we think we’ve done something that makes us not good enough, He is always seeking us out wanting us to come back to him. On top of all of that, He celebrates our return! A great example of that can be found in Luke 15, the story of the prodigal son.
I also want to touch on the feelings of being abandoned by God, like He has so much going on that “clearly” He has forgotten about me. That your prayers are falling on deaf ears, which is absolutely not true. God knows the exact number of hairs on your head and He knows the number of each one. So when you have some shedding, God can easily say “11-20 fell out” lol
It’s crazy, but its true! My point is He knows the details about your life, more than you or anyone can know. He is absolutely concerned and in love with you!
Meditate on the scripture above and ill be praying this week that His radical love hits you in consistent waves this week, so you’ll never doubt His presence or His feelings towards you! You are not forgotten, you are not less than anyone else, He would gladly tear down walls to come find you, and He loves you more than you can imagine!!
