God Has Not Abandoned You

Jesus came to you with Himself, with the Father and the Holy Spirit.  It isn't just that He came, showed you His love by dying for you, later to abandon you - leaving you to fend for yourself.

After Jesus rose from the dead, He returned to live in your heart. (remember that the spirit dimension is different from this one and that we live in it also.)  Jesus inside is no metaphor;  He really is inside you, and through His presence you have a new nature:  you are a new creation.

No matter how alone, ashamed or convicted you feel, God has not abandoned you.  If you've accepted Jesus into your heart, God is there-truly and actually there as spirit.  He moves inside your heart, mind and body to direct and heal you.  You have become fused to God.  In hardship and trauma, we often cannot feel or sense Him, even though He is inside us (cohabiting with our own spirit and the evil spirits who are working against us) directing our thoughts, memories and prayers.  John 14:26:  "He will teach you all things, and bring to remembrance all things that I said [scriptures and other divine messages] to you."

Through Christ, you've become God's child.  You're part of His family.  You carry His name.  You're protected and loved.  You belong to Him.  The Bible says in 1 John 3:1:  "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God.  And that is what we are...!" (NIV)

He also sent the Holy Spirit to live in you.  He, together with the fullness of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirits) is whit you forever.  He is not only with you, but continues to act on your behalf - teaching, counseling, and helping.  He is there in every decision, in every part of your life strengthening you, being a true friend.
