He never takes His eyes off me, never turns away from me, and never stops working for me. His love Never. Runs. Out. When I yield myself to Him and acknowledge His presence, His adoration, and His consuming love, His strength becomes my strength. All I have to do is simply rest in Him. There’s no striving, no tiring out, just renewed strength and the confident expectation of Hope.
Just as He places each star in the sky and knows them so intimately that He knows if one goes missing, He knows each of us in that same way. Let this be a reminder to you that He never takes His eyes off of you, never turns away from you, and never stops working for you. He sees you, friend. The Holy One knows you, inside and out, and He loves you with an unending love.
“So—who is like me?
Who holds a candle to me?” says The Holy.
Look at the night skies:
Who do you think made all this?
Who marches this army of stars out each night,
counts them off, calls each by name
—so magnificent! so powerful!—
and never overlooks a single one?
Why would you ever complain, O Jacob,
or, whine, Israel, saying,
“God has lost track of me.
He doesn’t care what happens to me”?
Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening?
God doesn’t come and go. God lasts.
He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don’t get tired,
they walk and don’t lag behind.
Isaiah 40:25-31 MSG
–Jessi B
