One Thing You Can't Lose

Everyone who has lost something at some point in your life, please raise your hand. If your hand is not raised, you are either extremely fortunate or lying. I'm betting on the second.

We have all experienced a loss of some kind...a job, a marriage, a loved one, a dream. Loss is painful and confusing. The struggle to cope and move forward is hard. But there is one thing you can be sure of--you can never lose God. He will always be there with you and for you.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified... for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
-Deuteronomy 31:6


As I write this post, I am praying for everyone that reads this who is hurting. I pray that God's peace would triumph over your confusion. That His hope would transcend your pain. Loss is inevitable. But so is the love and grace of God.
