God is always on our side


I was tired, but the Lord stood at my side.
I had sinned, but the Lord stood at my side. 
I was unworthy, but the Lord stood at my side.

Broken.
Beaten. 
Overwhelmed.
Overcome.

But the Lord stood at my side.

There is nothing that can separate us from God.
Nothing that is too much for Him to bear. 

God wants to take our anxiety, our fears, our distress.
But we refuse to give it to Him.

We want to fix it.
We want to be in charge. 
We want to prove we don't need anyone.

That we got his.

And sometimes we just want to clean ourselves up before we go to Him.

Wipe off our faces.
Smooth our clothes.
Brush our hair.

We don't want God to see us like this.

Dirty.
Disgusting.
Disheveled.

But we forget that God already sees us.
He already knows.

And He already willingly paid the price with the Blood of His Son.

No matter what we're facing.
What enemy is against us.
What demon is tormenting us.

God is right there. 

By our side.

Wanting us to trust Him. 
Wanting to give us His strength.

We can't do this life alone.

No one can. 

God is waiting. 

What are we waiting for?
