Abandoned by God?

                                  
"You said You'd come

And share all my sorrows

You said You'd be there

For all my tomorrows

I came so close to sending You away

But, You came to stay"

Have you ever felt alone, lost and abandoned by God? Have you ever cried out to Him, like Mary did when she saw Jesus and fell at His feet, saying " Lord if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died"? 

It's easy to feel that way when we are going through difficult times. We question God's presence and His plan for us. But the truth is God is always with us, even in our darkest moments, speaking to us through His word and through His spirit. We just need to be quiet and attentive, because sometimes He just whispers.

God understands our pain and our sorrows and our fears. He knows the brokeness of this world and He sees every tear that we shed. And just like He did for Mary and Martha, He weeps with us. He is not distant or uncaring, but rather, He is right beside us, holding our hand and carrying us through.

When we feel abandoned by God, its important to remember His plans are higher than ours. We may not understand why we are going through what we are, but God does. He is using our struggles to shape us, to strengthen us and draw us closer to Him. We may not see it now, but one day we will look back and see how God used our pain for a greater purpose.

So today, if you are feeling alone and abandoned byGod, remember that He loves you. He is always with you and carrying you through your struggles so trust in His plan, even when it doesn't make sense. And know that one day, you will see how he used your pain for His glory.

He will use your struggle for a greater purpose.

"And Jesus said

Come to the water

Stand by My side

I know you are thirsty

You won't be denied

I felt ev'ry tear drop

When in darkness you cried

And I strove to remind you

That for those tears I died".
