Not
forsaken
There’s
a level of rejection most will never experience the way I and some others who
have had a spouse leave them experience. In all honesty I struggled with
feeling like God had forsaken me too. It causes you to doubt any love.
I had to be reminded of the sovereignty of God and how nothing that
happened to me caught God off guard and he still loves me. There are
chapters in the Bible like Psalm 139 and Romans 8 that I run to for comfort
when battling those thoughts. I don’t always get it right, but I try.
If you ever feel forsaken or rejected or unloved seek God. I’m
about to give you a passage of verses to make you take heart. See at one
point I was told to heal in private but let me say this if God can use me to
teach or help someone else with what I’ve been through I would rather share it
than just keep it to myself. I’m the least important part of this blog
thing it’s all about sharing God’s Word. But if you need an update of
where I’m at with all of that first I’m going to share a poem of where I’m
at. This is something I’m calling
Content of Sorts
Content
of sorts
I’m
at a place in my life
Physical
needs
Are
met
Emotional
not so much
Happy
to be alive
Happy
to have family and friends
So
loved by my dog
Simply
here
God
has given me a day to live
I’m
content of sorts
I
still long for a relationship
I
can’t make it happen
But
I can
Be
just me
I’m
the pro wrestling, video game, comic book fan
Somehow
my niece thinks I’m cool
I
don’t see it but
“There’s
always another day.”
I
live a weird schedule.
I
try to be the best me I can.
I’m
just content of sorts.
I’ve
battled depression and rejection but today it’s an ok day.
I’m
fine with that.
And
for those who may feel forsaken I want to remind you what God’s word says about
you and me.
Psalm
103:8-18
“The
Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He
will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat
us as our sin deserves or repay us according to our iniquities. For as
high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who
fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our
transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so
the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass, he
flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the
Lord’s love is with those who fear Him, and his righteousness with their
children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his
precepts.”
If
you doubt God’s love or think he has forsaken, keep reading his word.
I’ve had to. We need his assurances.
