Title: Winding Back Up in God’s Arms

Description: We are shortsighted creatures, yes? Just look at how many times we stray away from the path God has set us upon—Even when He promises to be with us when the going gets really rough.

True to our fallen human nature, we sometimes let our broken circumstances inform our relationship with God (If He loves me or cares about me, He wouldn’t let this happen!), and in those moments, we simply just want nothing to do with God.

Maybe you’ve been in those shoes before (We have!).

But aha! God is bigger than even your bitterness, anger and frustration. He remains unchanged. Absolutely committed and faithful to you even when you fail (2 Timothy 2:13).

He is patient towards you—Hoping that one day, you will return to Him, singing His praises and giving thanks to Him, because you will soon find out. He alone will satisfy your soul thoroughly.
