Unforsaken

6.5.19

The way God loves us is just amazing! His heart for us is beautiful.

We have strayed so far from His original plan for us, and yet that hasn’t deterred His love from us in the slightest. We were created to be loved and to love. To be loved by Him- He has faithfully loved us through the ages, He has not failed. We, on the other hand… we have failed miserably at loving Him and loving our neighbor. But because of His unconditional and loyal love, we are not forsaken unto self destruction. Because of His perfect love we have both reason and ability to live the way He intended. And as we surrender to His love He will lead us back to what we were originally made for.

“Though the Lord is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar… The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” Psalm 138:6,8

If you read “Masterpiece” you will know that a couple months prior to this journal entry I was in the middle of an audition period. I was learning to follow the guidance of my Master artisan. I learned that God calls us His masterpiece! How incredible, that out of all creation, we are His pride. Insane. Anyways, there I was, a couple months later, after the auditions, still facing a very “unknown future”, but resting assured that He will “perfect that which concerns me”, and that even though I often fail, He will “not forsake the works of His hands.” Both in the grand scheme of things and in our own life, He will regard the “lowly” or humble, He will perfect the things that concern us, He won’t leave anything undone or wasted, He will always finish what He started, and He won’t abandon us, the work of His hands. Why? Because He loves us.
