Nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39)

Your sin is never too great to forgive in God’s eyes. (1 John 1:9)

But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. (Romans 5:20)

If we become lost …God will find us. If we become weak … He will strengthen us.

If we become discouraged …God will encourage us. If we become unlovely …He will make us lovely.

If we become graceless … God will give us grace. If we become unfaithful …He is faithful!

I think God must be very old and very tired. Maybe He used to look splendid and fine in His general’s uniform … but no more.

He’s been on the march a long time you know. And look at His rag tag little army. All He has for soldiers are you and me … dumb little army.

Listen! The drumbeat isn’t even regular. Everyone is out of step…

He may be old, and He may be tired, but He still knows where He’s going and He means to take every last one of His tiny soldiers with Him; only there aren’t going to be any forced marches.

Most of us are afraid and lonely and would like to hold hands or cry and run away, and we don’t know where we are going, and we can’t seem to trust God, especially when it’s dark out and we can’t see Him. But He won’t go on without us.

And maybe that’s why it’s taking so long.
