My Current Circumstances

          My current circumstances do not necessarily reflect how God feels about me.  So many times, when going through rough patches in the road, I've felt like God has been focused somewhere else and not on me.

          In the Gospel of Matthew (10:29-31), Jesus said Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?  And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will.  But the very hairs on your head are numbered.  Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (nkjv)


          No, it's not that He isn't paying attention- sometimes He allows these moments to happen so that we can better grow.  You know, if it wasn't for the valley, you would never know what it would be like to be on top of the hill.  If the mountain was smooth, you couldn't climb it!

          No, your circumstances most definitely do not reveal how God feels about you.  What reveals how God feels about you is the power of the cross!  He sent Jesus to take your place and mine.  With Jesus' blood as the ink, He wrote "Paid In Full!"  THAT is how God feels about YOU!
