The Reason You Were Born!

The Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. — Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV
We have all had our hearts broken by someone who did not choose us, or by someone who rejected our offer to love that would have brought the fulfillment of a relationship. Some of us have even said under our breath. “It’s your loss. I would have been good for you. We could have had a great life together, but . . . oh, well.”
God never says, “Oh, well.” He is relentless in his love pursuit of us while at the same time honoring our right to say, “No. I’m not interested.”
How blessed we are that, in the cocooning security of God’s choice to love us, we also have his promise to never abandon us. He will not desert us; He will never choose against us. No human being in our lives can make such a declaration of steadfast love. Only God can; only God does. Let’s remember yet again Isaiah 41:9, which promises, “I have chosen you and will not throw you away.”
My prayer for you is that you choose to accept the very reason for which you were born and that you rest in your place of one whom God will never abandon . . . never throw away.
