Always met by God's grace and mercy

"We come to God as we are: caught by sin and longing for God; and we are always met by God's grace and mercy."  Wendy Miller

He will never abandon us

Oswald Chambers writes in "My Utmost for His Highest" that God will never leave us, "not for any reason, not my sin, my selfishness, stubbornness, nor waywardness. Have I really let God say to me that He will never leave me? If I have not truly heard this assurance of God, then let me listen again."

What a promise! Even when we are busy, distracted, fantasizing, lost, wrapped up in ourselves, God is always there, calling us back to the right path where He ever waits for us. Even though the road we often take meanders, twists, and gets confused, He continually shows us the straight path to Him.

Show me the right path

I love the profoundly honest plea of the psalmist in Psalm 25. I commend your reading it. From despair to hope, from past to future, he speaks of his deep need for the totality of God in his life. He knows how vulnerable he is to the vagaries of his own and, of society's, nature. He realizes that without the constancy of God's love, guidance, companionship and forgiveness, he is lost.
