I Was Unfriended

But awhile back I noticed I hadn’t seen someone’s posts that were usually there on a regular basis. I almost always clicked “like” on whatever they posted.  I did it intentionally for a couple of reasons, one being they never did get very many “likes.”

Having been pretty close with the person for a number of years, I became a bit curious.  I remembered they recently were quite upset with me about something, and I wondered if they just may have unfriended me.   Sure enough, they did exactly that.

I didn’t let it hurt my feelings; people do whatever they are going to do and I cannot control their actions.  But it did get me to thinking that our loving God will never unfriend us. He will never remove you from His list, for the Bible says we are His children, born of incorruptible seed, and given eternal life.

If a parent has right beliefs and standards, their child can choose to not accept those beliefs and standards. In doing so, the relationship they once had with their parents is no longer there. But, they still remain a child of those parents.  And, a good parent continues to pray their child will return someday, and they display God’s love so that the door always remains open for their child.

And Even Though…

Even though we, as born again Christians, are God’s children, we can by our own choices remove ourselves from the fellowship or relationship we could have with Him.  We can choose to distance ourselves from His kindness and grace and look to someone or something else; we can choose to walk away from Him. Regardless, we still remain His children with eternal life; we cannot lose it.

God does not go around removing people from His roster, or deleting them like a file on His computer.  God’s love for you is constant and does not change; nothing can separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.

Do you find it absolutely overwhelming to think that in spite of all our shortcomings and weaknesses, God will still never unfriend us?  I do!
