That was me fishing when I was a little kid. As I was reading in Psalms this morning I came upon this.....

1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

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

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, a]" class="footnote">[a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to b]" class="footnote">[b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

I encourage you to read that passage again and again. It blows me away just how awesome and big God is. How Loving and how amazing He is. Listen there is nothing that you could ever do on this earth that would make God love you any less. If you have been running from God, He is still right there watching you. He is with you Wherever you go. You can't get away from God. Maybe in your mind you can say to yourself "He is not there and I want nothing to do with Him." But in reality God is still there watching you and loving you. You can say all you want "How can a loving God send good people to Hell?" and God's love for you never changes. You can spit in His face and curse His name and God still loves you the same. You can do the most evil thing in the world and guess what? God still loves you the same. Stop running! It's pointless. Because God is with you and He is running along with you. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. I can't wrap my brain around why you wouldn't want that!!! The maker of this universe wants to have a loving awesome relationship with you.

I hope this encouraged you today. When I am feeling down and need a pick me up. I think about my amazing God in Heaven. Who is watching my every move. Who knows how many hairs I have on my head right now. Who gives me that breath and that breath and that breath and that breath and that breath and that breath.....

I love you Father!

Have an awesome day
