Last night after service I was talking with my cousin Jacob and we were just catching up on things. He asked me how I was doing and I shared with him my situation and how I was dealing with heart break. Then he said something that is going to stick with me forever, he said now you can see how God feels when someone walks away from him or rejects him. The moment he said that it opened my eyes to a whole way of thinking. I'm pretty sure that everyone has been through some kind of heart break. Whether it's break up or a loss of a loved one, maybe a best friend that your no longer friends with. We all know how much that hurts to miss that person. I would say times that feeling by ten and maybe we might know what it feels like when someone chooses to walk away from God. I say we might because there's no way we can know how God would feel because we can't love like he does. His love for us is indescribable.
I'm not saying this to make you feel bad but I feel that this is something we should realize. God does hurt for us, and those who choose to turn our backs on him. It's not because our God is weak, remember he doesn't need you and that's the beauty of it all. He doesn't need us but he loves us that much that his heart would break for us. So my prayer is that we realize if we ever feel like walking away or giving up on God that we remember that he cares for you and loves you no matter what. I also pray that as we remember this it would give us a passion to bring those who have walked away and those who don't know the Lord back to him.
