In the End, You Still Have God

In a world that is so troublesome, so hurtful and fallen, sometimes it is easy to lose hope. Jobs are lost, food is scarce, wars rage, disasters come, sickness strikes, and loved ones die. It's enough to make us cry, enough to make us wonder if life is truly worth it. If we let this world paint a picture of what life is, it turns out dark, cold, gloomy, and sad.

But beloved, God is going to be there through it all and He's never going to leave you! He's going to be a Father to love you, a Shelter amidst a shifting world, a Rock in times of disaster, and a Comforter in times of sadness. He's promised to wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:4). He's there to hold you and tell you everything's going to be OK.

You see, these things happen to us, and we have no control over them. But God does not rejoice in them.. no, rather He hurts when you hurt, and He cries when you cry. But He's strong, strong enough to pull you up out of the pain and give you hope.

So don't fret beloved, though this world shifts and shakes, God is a solid rock in the earthquake.
Don't worry, don't fear, God's going to wipe away the tears.

This little rhyme may be cheesy, but it is oh so true. He loves you, and He will never leave you.
