Are you there God? It's me....

Sometimes it feels like God's turned His face from us, like when Jesus had all the sins of the world upon himself, and God turned away.

When things that I thought couldn't get any worse, does get worse - I sometimes wonder if He's still there, or if He's turned away....

Why God. Are you there God? How can it be God?

But His ways are higher than our ways; and this, we can understand - as parents, we often do things that the kids don't understand; but that's because we know things they don't. Sometimes we even let them fall, we let them fight, we let them make mistakes - we know our advice will not be heeded unless it is sought after.

The Bible is given freely, but how many actually read it? So is it surprising that God speaks to those who seek Him, when we seek Him?

SO a few days ago I was checking if God was there, listening to me still - so I made a random request. For a particular person to call my husband. I say my husband cos, he's not chatty. People usually only look for him to get something done. So he doesn't get random calls. And not just a random call, by a person of my choosing. The day after, that person did call. Goosebumps.

So God checked in :)

He's still there. He reminded me that He's answered every time I call. It's me who's been too busy for Him, trying to do it all on my own, and constantly being too tired to enjoy the blessings He's given me. 

He chose me before I chose Him (John 15:16)

Psalm 27:10 says even if our father and mother forsake us, God never will.

Finally, Isaiah 43:2 says, 

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

So He's there, call Him.
