I was listening to the song "Blessings" by Laura Story, which I've heard probably a hundred times, but today I actually listened to the words and they really spoke to me. The second verse it says:
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
And all the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
That is me. When I can't fell Him near I get angry at Him. I think I take for granted that feeling of Him near. However, we can't trust our feelings because they can mislead us. God's word says that He will never forsake us, that He loves us. Luke 12:23-25 says "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" That right there should tell you how much He love you. His word is what we need to rely on, not how we feel. Just because you don't "feel" like God loves you, doesn't mean He doesn't. Look in His word to see how much He loves you. He gave His son, so that YOU would have everlasting life (with Him!)!!!
