Topic: God Knows You

Our God knows we sin and make mistakes, but God is a forgiving God. Our God is a forgiving God..forgiving each of us for our trespasses if we will but ask Him and turn away from our sin. God does not want to hand out a punishment to us because our God is a God who loves us. When we pray, we can feel and experience His love and forgiveness inside our heart. God is now and has always been within your heart. He has been within your heart no matter how bad your suffering might have been. In suffering, you have a great battle in being responsive to God because your suffering is the result of Satan's attempt to separate you from God. However, especially in your suffering, your God is a personal God who wants to be alive inside of your heart and life. No matter how it seems, in suffering, God is not impersonal or far away. God is personal and He knows our name. God is personal and He loves us even if, in our suffering, we doubt Him and turn away from Him. How can this be? Is not God's continual love for us even when we turn away the greatest wonder of all time? Is not the greatest wonder of all time God loving us in spite of our behavior against Him? God does not condemn us with darkness and suffering. Instead, God wants us out of the darkness and suffering. God does not punish us with the darkness. He wants us out of the darkness and into the Light. The darkness of pain, suffering, loneliness, and isolation is not an act of God. Most importantly, God can use your darkness in powerful ways. God can, if you let Him, use your darkness to inspire you to turn to the Light, to change your life, to give you a place in eternity.
