15 Things You’ll Never Hear God Say

November 19, 2013

Posted by Cindi

My husband and I were reflecting recently about the ways people can let us down and even the way we let each other down, at times. It was then that Hugh started a running list of statements or responses that God would never say. It became fun to talk about these, but as I look over this list, it means the world to me that I have a God who will never disappoint.

I want to share this list with you this morning to hopefully put a smile on your face and remind you of how perfect the Living God is…and how extraordinary it is that He wants to have a relationship with you and me.

Some Things You’ll Never Hear God Say:

  • I’m busy — can I get back to you?
  • Oops
  • I forgot
  • I”m sorry
  • I don’t know
  • What did you say?
  • Sorry I’m late
  • I was wrong
  • I’ll see you later
  • You did what??
  • I really don’t have time
  • But I meant to
  • Don’t take this personally but I need my space
  • I didn’t mean it that way
  • Why Me?

Did some more come to mind as you were reading through this list? If so, I’d love for you to share them with me and my readers. Add them to the list below and let’s keep it going….

      Thanks, Jenelle, for those additions….they’re reminders that God is never in a bad mood and we’re never catching Him at the wrong time. Good thing to keep in mind at this time of year. : )

What I learned after experiencing betrayal. Have What I learned after experiencing betrayal. 

Have you been shocked, disappointed, or angry at the number of stories you’ve read recently about leaders in the faith who have failed morally and spiritually?
 
The most recent was Author Phillip Yancey whose books my husband and I were well-acquainted with. It’s easy to become critical or to say “how could they?” or to think: I would never do something like that. Yet when a trusted believer we know personally shocks us by their behavior,  it hits home at a far more personal level and can be more hurtful and convicting on so many levels.
 
I was recently shell-shocked to discover that a close friend and professional consultant of mine in ministry was arrested for (and confessed to) a federal crime and heinous sins I can’t even wrap my head around. I never would have suspected this person of anything resembling the charges that were filed. The gut-wrenching nausea, the reeling thoughts of How could I have been blinded to this for a decade? assaulted me. Then the accusations from the enemy set in: How could you have worked with this person for so long? How did you not see this coming? You can never trust anyone again. No one is who they seem to be.
 
Yet, as I gave my hurt and disillusionment to Jesus, remembering what a God-send this person was to my ministry a decade ago, and how blessed I was by my working relationship with this person, my shock and anger dissolved into compassion to see the offender’s plight as God did. A loved child of God’s had fallen morally, spiritually, gravely. And this person’s family was reeling far more than I was. This person’s church was hurting on a level I was unaware of. And the enemy was surely gloating.
 
Rather than focus on feeling betrayed, and allowing the enemy to instill in me a cynicism toward other trusted believers, I realized God wanted to pull me closer to Himself through this.
 
 If you haven’t been hurt already by a trusted believer, it very likely may happen--whether it's your pastor, worship leader, of friend.  Here's an article I wrote to process my pain:
