Pretty Sure God's Mad At Me

8/5/2016

Recently had a conversation with a young college student who was sharing a variety of struggles in life.  I had asked, "have you been talking with God about those things?"  And received the response, "i'm pretty sure God's mad at me." My heart broke and I immediately began to share with this sweet student the true message about God and how He really feels about him.

I reminded him that God specifically came to seek out all those who have tried living life their own way, on their own terms, and find it has only left them empty & hurting. It's the picture of the Prodigal Father, who, no matter how reckless we've been, continually stands out on His front porch, day after day, as the good, perfect, loving Father, always looking a long way off for His child, hoping today's the day he's coming back home, trading in the old life that's left him empty for real life that is good - full of joy, hope, adventure, etc...

So, sweet friends, God's  NOT mad at you at all. Instead you are loved with an everlasting love by a good, good Father who loves extravagantly, longs to share all He is with you and wants to give you good gifts.❤️
