Abandoned and Without Hope
Ever been kicked when you’re down? My friend Slade went through an utterly hellish time, but I was so encouraged by how he took it—his words to me were so helpful that I had to share:
“Our ever faithful God has His love over us. Especially when we are feeling ‘kicked.’ His love is still right here.”
There is no way that I could have said it better, but I do like how John 16:33 confirms it, saying, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Everything in this fleeting world may leave you, but there is one eternal thing that never will—it is our God, who loves us beyond what we can comprehend. “And I give them eternal life, and never shall they perish to the age, and never will anyone snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:28)
