When you cross deep rivers, I will be with you, and you won't drown.
When you walk through fire, you won't be burned or scorched by the flames.
Isaiah 43:2
_I.43 stands often for "i love you". exactly the same message as Isaiah 43 is saying. God loves us so much. though John 3:16 said simply how much and great God's love is for us, here in Isaiah, He expounded and made His love more understandable and easeir to digest.
_i am so in-love more with God as i read, repeatedly these chapter. the more i indulge into it's message, the more i feel how God would embrace me and pour His love for me. i love most verses 4 and 5 that says, "To me, you are very dear, and I love you ... Don't be afraid, I am with you." it fills every hunger and thirst in my heart. it just feels really good when someone loves you, no matter what and will be with you, no matter where; ANYTIME!
_through the waters, He'll be with us. through the deceiving calm still waters that runs deep or through the raging angry waves of troubles and problems, He is with us. really overwhelming. through the fire of testing and tribulation and through the flames of refining and purification, God will be with us still and will not leave us alone. our pains, wounds and tears are all seen by our God. and not only that He watches but, He is with us! with us through the waters, with us through the fire! come on, God is with you!! you are never alone!! you can never be alone!
_that i call is love. God is love. God is with you. love is with you. isn't it amazing??
_often, we thought of when things are good, God is with us and things gone bad, He's a bit far. but that is not the case! through the good times AND bad times, GOD IS WITH YOU! He is there at your side. maybe you can't feel His love when things gone bad because you are too busy looking at the bad things that are happening and is forgetting that God is just there waiting for your attention.
_God is with you, you just can't leave Him and He just can't leave you, ANYwhere, ANYtime!! |
