Endures forever!

I tend to glance around at the people who are sitting when i sit down in the pews at church... knowing that we as born sinners come into God's church as a fake!  We sit through these sermons about walking OPENLY with one another, confessing our sins but act if as if everything was perfect. NEWS FLASH!!!! we aren't perfect... and thats okay.  God loves you so much not matter what you have done, he knows you are going to mess up, fail many times, do things that you will be so ashamed of but thats why there is the cross. The cross reminds us that despite our short coming he still LOVES us.. God loves us so much that he put his only son on the cross to die!  The Church is a place to heal the wounds and pain, to be honest with yourself, others that life isn't always easy! church helps those to receive the love christ has for you and to have the chance to give everything to the lord. NO ONE IS PERFECT in the church... not even the preachers! no one is! we all are this imperfection beautiful creations of god. 
During the darkest parts of our lives where there seems like there is no light.. God is right there with us... he HASNT abandon you. He is with you in every step telling you 'we will get through this... we will finish this painful time and endure it together. I will not leave you.. don't give up!' He wants you desperately to give your burdens and hurts to him... HE WANTS to carry them for you so you don't have to go through it alone. God wants you to talk to him... he wants you to bother him! God isn't just available on sundays for an hour during church.. no.. in fact he is waiting for you call him and question him.. to have a relationship like no other relationship you have had before. He wants so badly to be your father, friend and seek him... this is was important for him that he, our gracious,merciful God, gave his only begotten son to die on the cross for you, for me, for the young lady in the fifth pew!! He hurts when we hurt, he smiles when we smile, HE LOVES YOU! 
God wants you to come to him with all your imperfections and unconfessed sins, and hurts and pain, and joy... he want you just as you are! for you are PERFECT in god's eyes!!
So next time you head into your church realize you are just like the others all at the same place... to be healed and love. Don't be fake... god didn't make you that way... be yourself.   
God's love endures forever!
