Have you ever felt like no one cared?

This morning I am participating in something that I've never done before, a book club. It amazes me how God orchestrated this from three common women this summer studying Ruth together. Declaring to one another, that we desire to become women of noble character. As we shut the books of our study, one mentioned how she would love to know more of the other women in God's word.

Three women that have struggled with alone-ness at some point in our journey this side of heaven. Of feeling lost and not being seen, like a penny just thrown away. I believe that Naomi felt this as well when they left Jerusalem for Moab. She and her three men traveling to a foreign nation that had been forbidden by God, feeling perhaps like no one cared. Naomi and her family would disappear and be lost.

I'm here to share with you this morning, that when you feel like the whole world doesn't care and that you feel as if no one that you know, knows where you are, that you think you are lost....you have a Friend that always cares and always knows where you are!! That you are not cast aside as if you are a penny, lost and not wanted. It's true!!

"God's love is meteoric, his loyalty astronomic, His purpose titanic, his verdicts oceanic. Yet in his largeness nothing gets lost." Psalm 36:5-6 MSG.

God divinely orchestrated this summer for three women to come together and dig deeper into His word. He opened the lips of one to share a hunger to learn more of the women He esteemed in our history. He heard the cries of our hearts and appointed this time as time for a book club. Reading and gleaning information that is found in the Word of God, through sound bible teachers. We have no idea how long this will last, but this we do know, we are all on board. Connected due to the RED THREAD of Jesus Christ running through our very souls. We are beginning with Twelve Extraordinary Women: How God Shaped Women of the Bible and What He Wants to Do with You by John MacArthur .


Abba Father, You word is always right on time. I ask for ears to hear and eyes to see and You provide for me, as You are faithful. Lord, thank You that even in Your largeness (you are every where, at all times) that nothing gets lost, not even little ole me. You are a loving and caring God and I do come expecting love, love and more love, from You. (Jeremiah 31:3 MSG). Thank You Father, that I never was lost, and You consider me worthy not casting me aside. You are amazing!! In Christ's Name, Amen.

Never lost here at Higher Grounds,
Yolanda
