i got thinking alot today with talking to one of my friends who is going through a rough time with her and her boyfriend and then i got reminded of the poem " Footprints"

Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.
This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.
The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
Carolyn Carty, 1963

what most people dont understand is that god never leaves us and he will never forsake us! he is always there no matter what, to leans on when times get rough and he is our shoulder to cry on when life is tough. when we ask god into our heart he is there forever and he will never leave
in the bible god calls us his children

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. (1 John 3:1-3)

"I (Jesus) am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."- John 14:6" to all who received Jesus, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." - John 1:12

not only that god calls us his friends

John 15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

god promises in the bible never to leave us

hebrew 13:5 Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,"

jow awesome is that that even after we sin god always takes us back he loves us that much that he will always be here for us! god never leaves us if we ever do feel far away from him it is because we are either pushing ourselves away from him or we are putting things before him. but we can even do the worst sins of all and god will always be welcoming us back with open arms. if we do ever have a problem god is calling out to us so that we can put it in him, so that he can take care of it! because no matter what plan you have for your life gods plan is always better than yours because it is gods will he only wants what is best for you; for his children! god wants you to put all over your sorrows and all of your pain in him so you can live a happy life, not all things can be done in the natural but ALL things can be done in the supernatural by god!
it says in the bible

Ephesians 3:20
Now to hin who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us.


god is always in us and he is always working in us! if we ever feel distant he is still there and he will never leave because he is that same god yesterday today and forever god will NEVER change and that is one of the many things that is so amazing about him!

god bless

True Love

what we don't understand is that true love comes in many forms. you can have a best friend, a husband, your kids. but another thing that we don't understand is that the best kind of true love is between Parent and child, and by this i mean between us and God... he gave his son for us that is how much he loves us. to all of the parents can you even imagine giving up for child to save the world! well jesus wanted to and he did jesus saved the world! another thing that we don't understand is that jesus didn't have to do it he could of just sinned he had all of the same temptations that we have today in the world and he was only human but he never broke through!that is how amazing he is! and he sis all of that just so that we could go to heaven he made it so easy for us to go to heaven and that is what true love is all about! i can honestly say from experience that you don't know what true love is until you learn to love god! because the love hat he has for us is so massive is in incomprehensible and he loves us all the way he doesnt love anyone of us more than the other no matter what we do and no matter how mant time that we sin god will always forgive us it says in the bible

Jer 31:3 (NIV) The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness

Lam 3:22 (NIV) Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail

1 John 4:16 (NIV) And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

1 John 3:1 (NIV) How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him

god love for us will never stop and it will never cease to grow! he has this loving-kindness that draws us in and he gives us a place in heaven where we can dwell and that is the best kind of love that we cn have is with god!
