Last night at church, our sermon was on, “If you bail, you fail.”
It made me think about all the people we will meet in life that will fail us, and bail on us. It’s kind of sad when you think about how many there are. But we fail people, and sometimes we bail on them, too. After all, we are only human.
But there is someone who will never ever fail you, and never ever bail on you. He is Jesus Christ. He is love.
His love is so constant, it amazes me. Despite all of our sins, flaws, and failures, Christ didn’t bail on us. Still, He chose the cross. Still he forgave us. Still he loved us.
That is love.
The idea of love is misconstrued in our world. Someone tell us they love us, but then they leave us, they break our heart, they lie to us, they bail. Sadly, giving up when things get rough is the new “norm” in our world today. We are taught that when things get too hard, it’s easier to just give up.
Of course it’s easier to just give up! That’s why it’s called giving up!
But if you bail in a hard situation, then you fail at allowing God to work in that aspect of your life.
We just have to remember that no matter who leaves us, hurts us, or does us wrong-that there is a constant source of love.
No matter where life takes you, He is still there. His love is still there.
Even when you get left behind, even when your whole world is turned upside down, even when you’re lost, even when you feel alone. He is still there, and His love is still there.
You will get caught up in the worry of this life and of this world. Things will be tough. Things will hurt. Things may never be the same. But knowing that God’s love for me is boundlessly constant gives me newfound hope, overflowing reassurance, preparing me for the journey ahead.
