Again and Again

 Again and Again

By Ava Grace 

Over and over again

Staring at a mountain thought I had already climbed

The weight of my mistakes old my down 

Like I'm paralyzed

How many times have I asked for grace

Standing in the same broken place

I've given You every good reason to walk away
But somehow You choose me

Over and over again

These lyrics come to us from the song Over and Over by Riley Clemmons and Lauren Alaina.

I think we all know what its like to be the person of these words. We're broken and lost and have no one to turn to. And we turn to God, thinking 'How on earth does He even want to help me again??'

We've all messed up. And that's ok. 

We think that God must have a limit to how many times He can help a person out. 

Wrong. 

Utterly, completely wrong. 

He comes back again and again and again because He cares. He cares about me. He cares about you. He cares about the baby that will be born three months from now. He cares about the grandmother who sits in her hospital room day after day just waiting for her Lord to take her home. 

And because He cares, we can know that we're not alone. 

It might seem like we're alone. No friends. No one to trust. But God is always there. He's there when we have too many people around us to count. 

And He's there when we seem to be the only leaf on the sidewalk. 

It is in quiet moments like these when He likes to get our attention. He whispers His promises and His comforting words through our hearts when we are at our lowest moments. 

He reminds us not to be afraid, because we never are truly alone. 

If you think that you're too far gone- you've messed up just one time too many -you're wrong. He'll never tire of coming after our hearts time after time. He won't ever give up, even when you do. 

So keep at it brother. Keep at it sister. God has your back, He has your heart. And He'll never let go.
