A Word from PJ
3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord. Jonah 1:3
Question, when your feelings get hurt or you are in a bad place, do you run from God and His people? The answer for most of us is, YES! We seem to think that God is so disappointed or mad at us that He couldn’t possibly love us. So we hide in shame and try to cover that shame by living a life of sinful distraction. As Christians, we should remember that we are God’s child. We can’t serve God and live in sinful rebellion. I want you to know this one thing, GOD ISN’T MAD AT YOU! HE LOVES YOU, NO MATTER WHAT! He just wants you to come home.
Love you,
PJ
When I mess up the first thing I want to do is Run to Him because he tells us He is our God, he will give us strength, he will forgive us, he will comfort us and he will lift us up and give us peace. He is always waiting for us with open arms.
Father knows best. His plans are always good because he is good so we must learn to really trust him and run and to his open arms.
Running from God is never a good thing. He knows all and sees all. He knew you were gonna do this dumb thing before you did it. Just let go and let God, turn your mess into a message. (speaking to myself)
Amen
