Only God Can Save

One of our duties as God’s people is to bring others to Him. We are to “go and make disciples of all nations.” We are called to do this and we must do it. However, you can’t let the outcome get you down. No matter what you do, not everyone will turn to God. It's a tough fact to face, but it's reality. You have to do everything possible to help, but you can’t do everything. Don’t be burdened by someone who isn’t saved. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t try your best to help them see God, but you were not made to carry this burden. Only God has the power to save. He can use you to save, but there is no use in wondering what would’ve happened if you had only done something differently. Do your best to help and then move on. God doesn’t want you burdened by something that you can’t control.

"Good God, if your song leaves our lips
If your work leaves our hands
Then we will be wanderers and vagabonds

They will stare and say how empty we are
How the freedom we had turned us up as dead men

Let us be cold, make us weak
Let us, because we all have ears
Let us, because we all have eyes
Good God

How they knew that this would happen
They knew they knew that this would
How they knew that this would happen
They knew they knew that this would
How they knew that this would happen
They knew they knew that this would
How they knew that this would happen
They knew they knew that this would
(We're so run down)

Good God! Can you still get us home…
Good God! Can you still get us home…
Good God! Can you still get us home…
Still get us home

How can we still get home
I'm not dreaming
We're forgetting our forgiveness"

When your life starts going well, you can't forget about God. If you stop relying on him, everything will just start going downhill. "Good God, if your song leaves our lips, If your work leaves our hands Then we will be wanderers and vagabonds". If you put God aside when He has given you everything you have and made you everything you are, you will become a wanderer. You will lose the pleasure you find in life. You will lose the enjoyment. You MUST come back to Him. If you don't, things may improve for a short time, but in the end, you will find yourself more lost than you were before. God is your map that can lead you to happiness. He is the only guide that can lead you to true happiness.

If you get to the point where you've lost your footing in life, you have to do whatever you can to get on track again. "Let us be cold, make us weak. Let us, because we all have ears. Let us, because we all have eyes, Good God". If falling down is what it takes to force you to look back up to God, I suggest you plead with God to let you fall down. You need God more than anything, and He will bless you if you turn to Him. Giving Him your life (for the first or fiftieth time) will be the best thing you have ever done. If you do this, the good God will get you home. Just don't forget about Him. Don't forget about all the blessings He has given you. Don't forget about the forgiveness He gave you. He is what you need. He is all you need.

I pray that you take God into your heart and never let Him out again, even if that means you must get knocked down.
