Church hurt

Why are people leaving the church?

Not just me and Jesus.

On my own, I would have talked myself out of God’s promises and also talked myself into some very terrible situations.

“So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!”

Comparison will always leave you disappointed.

"...Can you really expect to receive anything from the Lord when you’re in that condition?”

The Bible by no means put special emphasis on her or highlighted her as being better than the rest of us.

"I have come to bring you good news... it is for everyone everywhere! For today in Bethlehem a rescuer was born for you. He is the Lord Yahweh..."

Why does God continue to save, rescue us and deliver us even when the mess we are in is totally our fault?

"...the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

He knows what it’s like when life is unfair or life feels heavy and hard. He knows what it’s like to suffer and struggle.
