Mistakes, part 5

5. You can run away. God can follow.

God is everywhere. He can always find you. There is nowhere you can go where you are beyond His reach. You can bury yourself in all the sins of this world. He can dig you out. You can run to the other side of the world. He can call you back.

It doesn’t matter how much you hide the truth of your calling within yourself as you move toward your mistakes. God can and will find a way to make you remember what He’s called you to do. There is no better example for this than Jonah. Jonah tried to run. God followed him with a storm, and then with a big fish. He can do the same to any of us.

God is relentless in His love for us, and in His desire to see us become who we were created to be. He wants to keep us from making the mistakes ignoring His calling will lead us to. Even when we’ve made these mistakes He will not give up on us.

You can run, but you can’t hide. God will always be there. God’s plans for you will be the same no matter what you try to do, and however much you try to cover up who you know you were made to be. God knows you, and will work to make sure you know who you are as well.
