The morning in my devotion the author talked about having hope in God. "Come near to God and God will come near to you" James 4:8. That gives me so much hope that if I just come before the Lord He will be there. It doesn't matter the problem(s) we are having or that we feel unworthy or too broken for God. If we believe that than we are believing lies from the enemy. God didn't say "Go get perfect and then come to me" No, he said "I am with the broken". He has the ability to heal the most broken people in the world. Our toughest challenge is nothing more than bobby pins and rubber bands to God. The issues were dealing with may seem so big in our eyes but in Gods perspective they are nothing worse than lost bobby pins and rubber bands.
The Lord will meet you where ever you are. He will meet you no matter how much sin you are swimming in. Did you know God doesn't look at us with our sin on us? NOPE! He sees the identity He created us to be. We are perfect to Him. We allow the world and Satan to lie to us and tell us we aren't good enough. We allow these lies to fester in our spirits and hearts and break us down until we have no hope anymore. Hoplessness is unbelief in God's power, [ouch]. We cannot partner with the Enemies lies. We are warriors of God and we must act like it. We must know the truth that God has for us. Because that truth will set us free. He wants us to walk out in freedom. He doesn't care what you or the world have to say about your issues. They are not too messy or dirty for God. There is no such thing as a problem too hard for Him. He is not confounded, confused, or discouraged. Recieve his hope, won't you? Receive it because you need it. Receive it so you can share it.
In Christ,
Heather
