GOD WILL PURSUE YOU

A picture posted in Facebook caught my attention a few weeks back.

 

It was a picture of the sun setting down in the sea. There was nothing special about the sun or the sea. What caught my attention was the caption.

“God is like Oxygen. You can’t see Him but you can’t live without Him”.

I immediately clicked on the “Like” button. I was about to click on the “Share” button when I realized something.

God and oxygen may be similar but they are very much different. Confusing? Allow me to explain my point.

The principle of breathing is simple. Man needs oxygen to live. If you breathed in oxygen you live. But, if one day you decide not to take in oxygen then you will not live to tell others what happened.

God is different.

Even if you become un-faithful to God, He will still be faithful. If you decide to ignore him, He will still pay attention to everything you do. When you think God is absent in the midst of trial, He is there carrying you through the storm. When you fall into sin, He is always ready to forgive even before you ask.

God’s love for you is more important the oxygen.

I love how David closed Psalm 23 with this verse.

“Indeed, (your) goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for endless days.” - Psalm 23:6

God will pursue you because God loves you.

God will pursue you because He wants you to be part of His family. 

“Thus says the Lord God: I will take the children of Israel from among the nations to which they have come, and gather them from all sides to bring them back to their land. I will make them one nation upon the land, in the mountains of Israel” - Ezekiel 37:21-22

God is a father who longs to have you in His presence. He wants you to be part of his team. He desires to have you in His royal family.

God will pursue you.

Are you willing to cut the chase and ready to love Him back?

Have a blessed day!
