Have you had moments or even days where you felt you have had enough? Maybe you have felt that you just cannot cope with everything that is expected of you. Maybe you are having a hard time to overcome some brokenness in your own life and cannot see your way to the top.

Do not lose heart.

As humans, we are living in fallible bodies but the limitations of our flesh do not need to define us or have the last say over us. We have Someone much more powerful inside us, who can help us overcome our obstacles, give us the strength to climb our mountains and with grace restore our brokenness to a completeness nowhere else but in Him.

His name: the Holy Spirit. Our restorer, our strength, our peace.

There is nothing He does not want to help us with. He is there in every overwhelming moment. He is there when we come to face to face with our weaknesses and brokenness. Nothing scares Him and nothing can make Him turn His back on us.

He will not. He cannot.

“… be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6 AMPC)

God will not, will not, will not leave you or fail you. That is His promise, His Word to you and it stands.

I would like to encourage you in the knowledge that God has your back and will always be there right inside you that you will not allow your circumstances or you brokenness limit God’s grace from flowing through your life.

Do not settle for what is holding you back. Let God restore and uplift you to the greater heights He ordained for you to tread on.

Surrender every concern, every circumstance and every shortcoming and let Him restore you mind, your heart, your hope, your dreams, your emotions and feelings, your relationship and everything that may need it.

But the crux lies therein that He will not force Himself into your situation, only if you let Him. Will you?
