This is parts of my rambles... I have been crying to the Lord all week with my own sobbing tale of things that are near/dear to my heart and how I am genuinely nostalgic for those long altar calls of prayer and consecration, being next to someone that doesn't care how much I cry from God's amazing presence because they love it that much too and I guess to a certain extent I've "assumed" that every other Christian in the world feels this same exact way when it comes to serving a wonderful GOD! But much to my dismay this is just not so, and I wonder if a prayer went unanswered or emotional damage was done or life's ups and downs were too much and all of this somehow gets dumped on God like it's His fault.
But in "theory" this should make us run toward Him, not away! Life happens but God doesn't, He has always existed, He is constant, stable, unchanging and waiting. Waiting on us to realize He has already established His ways. I was all in a tizzy about this longing for Him and how this situation and that situation seemed hopeless and I couldn't see Him in ANYTHING else. This scripture "pricked" me, God is speaking through Isaiah and says, "Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have I not told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any."
God doesn't revolve around you or me, He has already established Himself. So whether we choose to respond to Him or ignore, it truly is our choice! It won't change the end result at the back of the book, it has been written for centuries. God will WIN. So my tizzy went fizzy and humbled itself. (lol) This probably is for no other person but me, that is ok, I get it now! God will forever be my God, no matter what anyone does or doesn't do, they can not remove an already established God.
