@trust.god.twin: God has been reaching out to you this whole time. You have just been looking the other way. . We pray and ask God why He feels distant, why He seems silent, why we cannot feel His presence anymore. We act as though the distance is something He created when the truth is He has been standing there with His arms open the entire time waiting for us to turn around. He does not reach out once and give up. He reaches out all day long. Through conviction you ignored, through people He placed in your path, through the still small voice you kept walking past. He has been calling your name longer than you have been pretending not to hear it. The image of God stretching out His hands is not a passive one. That is pursuit. That is a God who refuses to stop reaching even when His people keep choosing everything else. You are not someone God gave up on. You are someone He is still reaching for right now. The only question is how long you are going to keep walking in the wrong direction. . . . . . . . #jesuschrist #bibleverse #christisking #christiantiktok #relateable
