 I want to encourage all of you that God's love is real, he hears our prayers, and he cares for us. Sometimes we forget God's unconditional love and we run hard after him, which is good, but we forget that it's actually him running after us. Allow the grace of God to change your heart and put faith in your souls. God's ear is near to his children, and I want to remind of that kind of love that has always been available to you, his church and bride.

DO WE PUT GOD IN A BOX?

MATTHEW 10:30Why do we put God in a box?
Why do we have no problem praying for God to heal a child’s cancer, but feel odd asking Him to fix our stuffy nose? Do we assume He’s too busy to deal with the little stuff, or are we limiting what He’s capable of and what He cares about?

That one thing. I know I can’t talk to God about that! He’s probably sick and tired of me asking for help with that. He’s probably wondering why I haven’t licked it yet. Better wait until I get it straightened out.

Plus, He’s got lots of kids to save from fires, persecuted Christians overseas to rescue, and calamities to keep calm. He doesn’t have the time or interest in whether I take the new job, buy that used car, or volunteer at my kid’s school. I can take care of this, and He can work on the important stuff.
But what constitutes important to God?

What if He enjoys when I ask Him to not let it rain on the day of my yard sale? What if He sees me as His child just as the Bible says, and because of that, He cares about every single aspect of my day? What if He wants me to ask so that He can answer? What if He likes giving me the desires of my heart and showing me how He can work out even the tiniest detail just for me?
​

What if we realized when we limit our approach to God we’re really limiting God?
He wants to love us, be with us, and be a part of everything we are a part of each day. He wants to walk hand in hand, hear every problem, and be the center of our life. He wants constant conversation and constant trust. Anything less, such as thinking some parts of our life don’t interest or involve Him…that’s simply putting God in a box.
And that’s not where He belongs.
