What's So Great About God Anyway?

Those of you who read my blog may or may not believe in God and I'm not here to be a "Bible beater" or to shove what I believe down your throat in any way. But this post is just about consistency more or less...

God's Consistency.

Let's think about this.

How many people are really consistent through your life?
- Family? Sometimes.
- Friends? Sometimes.

But unfortunately, we can't say always.

People in our family pass away. Some leave on their own.
     Of all things, I have dad issues. The man my mom was married to didn't want me. Growing up, my step- dad flaked all the time and cheated on my mom. My biological dad wasn't very consistent or persistent in his relationship with me either. My grandpa (the man I loved and trusted more than anything) died when I was eight years old and the family left around me fell apart. None of them were consistent. 

Think of how many "friends" you've had since preschool.
     I mean that's a ton right? Okay maybe, maybe not. I, however, have a bad habit of "being friends with everyone." Sometimes that's been good and other times, bad. I've lost a lot of friends. Surely you have too right? I mean you made memories with people but are they really still your friends that you can confide in and want to keep a consistent relationship with? No. They're simply people you say "hey" to if you run into them at the grocery store. That's okay! Not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever; but still, people just aren't consistent.

But let me tell you one thing:

God
Never
Fails

Let me backtrack for a second... What if God were as inconsistent as everyone else in our lives?

What if God gave up on us at a certain point or when we reached a certain age? 
What if at age 18 "adulthood" God said "Okay you're legally an adult! Hope you can handle it from here. Best of luck to ya."  
What if after college or high school, God stopped intervening in our lives?

I mean, I don't know about you but I would be completely screwed (to put it nicely). But really, I would be an utter mess.

Christian or not, God loves YOU and He intervenes for YOU in ways that you may never know about so that you stay safe and have more opportunities to receive Him as Lord of your life.

I for one am eternally thankful that God is so consistent in my life. Without His intervention in my life, I wouldn't be writing this post today. But by His grace, mercy, and purpose for my life, He intervened with the most amazing people in my life that have helped me grow so much closer to Him.

People aren't consistent. But know that the people in your life are there for a reason. They may be there for a short period of time. That's okay. Make memories, learn lessons, and let go when God says it's time. Some people aren't meant to stay in your life forever. BUT GOD NEVER LEAVES. He walks by our side every single day.

People are blessings from God that come and go in our lives. Some are meant to stay forever, some aren't. Whatever His will, it's all for your greater good. 

I want you to know that You Are Loved. <--- (CLICK THIS)
