When the going gets tough, we find it hard to believe God hasn’t given up on us. We find it hard to believe because we feel like giving up on ourselves. When we feel broken, we don’t see the reason of pushing on nor do we see the possibility of being fixed again. God is the God who stays.
We tend to feel ashamed and we hide from the people around us. We attempt to hide from God as well, but it is not possible to hide from God. If you have tried, you know this is true. God is the God who stays.
The truth is that nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). Nothing we have done, said, or thought can separate us from the love of God. No one has the power to remove us from the presence of God. No matter how hard we try to hide from God, God is still there. God is the God who stays.
God is the God who stays. God is always welcoming us with open arms. God is there even when we feel the most alone. God is always reminding us that nothing can separate us from God’s love. God is the God who stays.
How do you know God is the God who stays?
I’m still trying to figure that out.

Sometimes it can be difficult to see the God who stays in the midst, but when you look back on these situations you begin to see things that could only be God moments. Prayers you begin to feel the presence of the God who stays.

I just realized that I may never “know”, but that doesn’t mean I can trust or believe the God is always there.

I love this! Sometimes it’s in that trust and belief that we come to know.
