You might be in a place right now where everything feels heavy. Maybe you’re locked in a cell, lying in a hospital bed, trapped in an addiction, or surrounded by problems no one else sees. Maybe people gave up on you. Maybe even you gave up on yourself. However, there’s one thing you need to know: God hasn’t given up on you.
You may feel far from Him… but He’s not far from you.
“For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
‘I dwell in the high and holy place,
With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.’” Isaiah 57:15
God is the Highest of all. He doesn’t fail. He’s holy, perfect, and pure. But that same great and glorious God—the One no one can touch—chooses to live with the humble, with the broken, and the one who is crushed and hurting inside.
Right now, He sees you. God knows the pain you don’t tell anyone about. He knows the thoughts that keep you up at night. He knows the weight you carry, and He’s not ignoring you. He’s not judging you. God is right there with you—to revive you.
He’s not asking you to be perfect. God is just asking you to be real with Him; you have to come to Him sincerely.
Humble yourself and let Him in. Let go of the pride, the guilt, the fear, and give your heart to Him. Because even if no one else is around, He is. And if you let Him, He will raise you up.
You’re not forgotten. You’re not beyond help, and you’re not too far gone. The High and Holy One is near—and He came to revive you.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
