Sometimes we feel like scripture needs some cultural adjustment. I have felt like nobody understands (and even recently almost told a couple people to their face that they don't). I have felt like this journey is mine to do alone. God never runs, though. No matter how insistent you may be that "Everything is alright" or "I'm fine" or "It's really no big deal" in feign insecurity, God is always there. He knows exactly when to pursue you even when you don't. He is strong, He is merciful, He is above all things... great. And great needs no cultural adjustment.
Oh, thank God—he's so good! His love never runs out. All of you set free by God, tell the world! Tell how he freed you from oppression, then rounded you up from all over the place, from the four winds, from the seven seas.Some of you wandered for years in the desert, looking but not finding a good place to live, half-starved and parched with thirst, staggering and stumbling, on the brink of exhaustion. Then, in your desperate condition, you called out to God. He got you out in the nick of time; He put your feet on a wonderful road that took you straight to a good place to live. So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves. He poured great draughts of water down parched throats; the starved and hungry got plenty to eat. - Psalm 107:1-9 (The Message)
