You can run away but you can't get away. I want to tell you today that you may be able to run away from the pain that's been in hot pursuit but you'll never get away from my love. You may be able to run away from your fears but I promise you today that you will never get away from my grace. You may even be able to find a hiding place that's hidden enough to get away from the doubts that have been pursuing you relentlessly, but I 'm telling you today that you will never get away from my presence. You never have and you never will. You can't get away from me. You may be able to run away from the judgements that others have made against you, but you better know today that you cannot and will not ever get away from my mercy. Even when you think you have, it's right around the corner when you least expect it. So today I want to tell you that it's time to stop running away from the pain and fear and doubts and judgements that have been after you for years because you can't get away from my love and my grace and my presence and my mercy. So since you really can't get away from me, maybe it's time for you to stop trying to run away from the others, because the things of me that you can't escape are more than enough to handle the things that you've been running from.
My love is enough to face your pain. My grace is enough to face your fear.
My presence is enough to stand up against any doubt you've ever known, and my mercy can disarm every judgement that has ever tried to come against you.
But you're going to have to stop running away to find out the truth.
