hey unloving I will love you...

"Though feelings may come and go but Gods love for us does not"
-C.S Lewis

Gods love is unfailing, he has never abandoned you even when you didn't know it he had his hand on you guiding you. I think its crazy how every time we go through downfalls or we feel like our life is going down the drain we always draw back and hide instead of run to God like we are supposed to.
These trials are Gods test to us and our faith, for it says in James 1:2-3 "My brothers and sisters, when you have many kinds of troubles you should be full of joy. Because you know that these troubles are a test of faith, and this will give you patience."

So when we face trials we're supposed to turn to the Lord. If we need wisdom we must turn to the Lord. I believe that every trial we go through gives us wisdom. I think its really cool when God shows you why you went through that trial. God has shown me multiple times why I went through breakups, losing loved ones and arguments with friends. I have used what I learned from that situation to help other people. It sounds really crazy to be happy when we go through trials, I know but God will help you through anything.

Footprints in the sand

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.

This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you
