God was there all the time......

Every time I think about or hear that song, I immediately begin to cry. I cry because I can't even keep up with the many, many, many times I've looked to people and things for help, advice, a word of comfort, encouragement, etc. but didn't look to the ultimate problem solver.....JESUS. I cry because my spirit is convicted and guilty due to me overlooking the MAIN person I should be looking to! Instead of putting my complete faith in God, I've chosen so many times to go to "man", who will never have the answers that God does. Many may have good intentions, but God has the last say so. So I just want to take a moment to tell God THANK YOU. Tears form in my eyes every time I think about God standing in line, just waiting on me to call on him. Lord knows he shouldn't have to wait...and then wait patiently at that just for me to seek him! It should surely be the other way around. I've looked here and I've looked there for help and strength, yet no one can do me like Jesus. There is no one greater than him! No one can love me like he can and no one can strengthen and change me like he can! I bless his holy name for another chance just to call upon him. If you're searching for answers to life's problems through man, if you're looking for someone or something to have your back and support you, and if you're looking for someone to confide in and tell all of your troubles to....then the man to call on is J.E.S.U.S! I don't care what you've done, who you've done, and where you've been, God still loves you the same and wants to build a closer relationship with you. He never turns on and off like a light switch. He's there for you even when you aren't there for yourself. He loves us and he certainly cares. When I think I'm at my lowest and that no one is near, I can always count on Jesus! When people turn their backs on you, he's there. When you're misunderstood and people don't want to take the time out to get to know you, he's there. When you have more bills left than month, he's there. When you can't seem to find your way out, he's there. When they walked out on you and talked about you bad, he's there. He's right beside you now, waiting on you to call on him. Lord, I truly thank you for "waiting in line" because you surely didn't have to do it. But you love us just that much to wait on us! Wow. Now that's love. I appreciate you for that Jesus and I thank you for being there for me when no one else wasn't.

  1. Well said and so true.... Makes me think of this video I saw on fb.. I'm going to find it and repost.... What you spoke about is one of mankind's greatest faults... NOT SEEKING HIM FIRST...

  2. AMEN!!!! This post makes me think of when I was 14. My grandmother passed away and I was devastated. It was a loss that I shouldn't have recovered from. But I recovered. I didn't know it then, but I know now that God was truly there the whole way. Back then, I didn't know to call on Him, but He knew I needed Him and He carried me through. Whoo girl you 'bout to have me in tears (^_^)

    1. Wow!!! I can only imagine how you felt at the time. God has been there from the beginning, and I appreciate HIS patience with US. Sometimes we can get ahead of ourselves and leave him out which sets us up for destruction when we are outside of his will. It was only HE that has carried us all through :-)
