Love Inside Out

This! ❤️‍🔥

You can't unsee that. And it changes EVERYTHING. Yes, abandonment was Jesus' perception on the cross as he bore all the weight of our sins, but his Father never actually turned away from him. Likewise, the Father never turns away from us. We are never abandoned or forsaken. He hears our cries and meets us with compassion.❤️

I’ve lived through seasons where I wondered if God had gone quiet on me.

When prayers felt like they bounced off the bedroom ceiling in the middle of the night.

When I whispered, “If You’re good, why does this hurt so much?”

But here’s what I’ve come to know, deep down in the marrow:

Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean He’s not here.
Just because it hurts doesn’t mean He’s not good.

I’ve seen His kindness show up in the ache.

I’ve seen His faithfulness when I didn’t feel strong enough to believe it.

If you’re in a season like that, I want you to know this: You’re not forgotten. And you’re not alone.

He’s with you. Even here.

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
- Deuteronomy 31:8
