Are You Running From God?

Psalm 139:7 (NIV)

"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?"

The answer is simple: Nowhere.

Perhaps you've spent years running from God because of fear, guilt, disappointment, or shame. Or maybe you simply don't want God directing your life. Whatever the reason, one amazing truth remains:

You may be able to run from God's will, but you can never run from God's presence. It is impossible to outrun God. His love always knows where to find you.

God created you on purpose and for a purpose. That is why He continues to pursue you—not because He needs you or because you are indispensable, but because His love is eternal, your purpose is not yet fulfilled, and His desire is to restore you rather than condemn you.

So, as you can see, it doesn't matter how far you run—you can never outrun God.

Since that is true, I urge you to stop running and answer His call. The One who has been pursuing you all this time is waiting with open arms.
