Hope for the IncarceratedSample
God is relentless.
Our scriptures today remind us there is nowhere we can go that God’s love does not also go. God is unrelenting. God refuses to leave us alone.
Because God loves us.
The only reason we can love God is because God took the first step and loved us first. That’s why God is so dogged in pursuing us—because God really, truly, honestly, and genuinely cares for us.
God cares for you.
God loves you.
God thinks you’re the greatest thing ever created.
That’s why God is so relentless in pursuit. That’s why God keeps reaching into your world with encouragement and discipline. That’s why God looks for different ways to speak to your heart so that you can hear what God has to say.
There is nowhere you can go that God cannot reach. There is nothing you can do to make God love you any less. You have the whole thing.
What will you do with it?
