Thoughts (Chapter 8) L.O.V.E

When life kicks you, you have to kick her back, right? Never fall, never quit. You see, you're not just a survivor - YOU ARE A WARRIOR! Life might put you down sometimes but eventually you always get back up again and fight. So, let's talk about those moment when you're felling low.
Sometimes you find yourself at the crossroads without knowing which way you should take.You're looking for answers but they're nowhere to be found. You're feeling confused and lost, wondering what's the point of this life... So, let me tell you this: I felt that way. I've been there and if it wasn't for God and his love ... I would've been the first to jump off a cliff, cause I've always wanted to fly...even for a couple of seconds. ( 'thing is, I don't know how to swim lol) Seriously, if it wasn't for Him, I would've been dead long time ago. He saved me and gave me new perspective. This life is pointless without Him. It's all dust and rust, garbage and emptiness. A big, fat joke. People who were supposed to be your friends, stabbed you in the back. Problems at work, problems at home, sleepless nights, bills to pay, diseases, partner's infidelity. All those things can really bring out the worst in you. You know it, I know it so...
Let's just get honest for a minute. Stop right now... stop fooling yourself, because we all know how things are. You're clubbing, drinking,having sex,doing drugs just because you're feeling empty, numb. You're trying so hard to fill that hole you're feeling inside, but you're doing it in the wrong way buddy. The answers you're looking for, are not there. You're looking for God's love, but you just don't know it yet. You heard about it before, but you just keep rejecting it. You're afraid to step out from your comfort zone and somehow I can understand that, but you are a WARRIOR so act accordingly.
One of my favorite writers, Max Lucado, explains it so beautiful in his book "Just like Jesus". Allow me to quote him...

"God loves you just the way you are. If you think his love for you would
be stronger if your faith were, you are wrong. If you think his love
would be deeper if your thoughts were, wrong again. Don’t confuse
God’s love with the love of people. The love of people often increases
with performance and decreases with mistakes. Not so with God’s
love. He loves you right where you are.
God’s love never ceases. Never. Though we spurn him. Ignore him.
Reject him. Despise him. Disobey him. He will not change. Our evil
cannot diminish his love. Our goodness cannot increase it. Our faith
does not earn it anymore than our stupidity jeopardizes it. God doesn’t
love us less if we fail or more if we succeed. God’s love never ceases."

Keep that in your mind, please. God loves you! Just come to Him. Just give Him a chance to hold you and I promise you, you will never feel numb,empty, hopeless,alone,unhappy, full of sorrow, again - as long as you stay close to Him.
GOD is what are you looking for! Trust me! I've been there! I know how you feel right now. I know... and I know the remedy too! God is waiting for you to come home! He will never abandon you!
Come to your Father!
COME!
