Hey, sis! Did you ever feel like you need to "put yourself together" or clean yourself up before coming to God? I've been there - trust me, I get it. But did you know that we serve a perfect God who is constant pursuit of us (and our mess)? In today's video, we are looking at one of Simon and Jesus' first encounters in Luke 5 and seeing how Jesus' pursuit of Simon started at the beginning and how we, too, are experiencing the same thing. The question was have to ask ourselves though is: do we recognize it?! Do we recognize this moments where God is calling out to us and drawing us closer to Him? I hope you leave this video feeling encouraged!! love you

Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my RUclips channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!
how god is pursuing you, how he pursues us, those coincidences are god, melody alisa, luke 5 bible study
hey, sis! So today is actually my birthday 🥳 i'm grateful i get to celebrate year 32 with you on this video!! so let's chat! today's question is: looking back over the last week, where can you see God pursuing you + your heart (and your mess - let's keep it real!)?
I was at the park on Saturday. Just sitting and enjoying our St. Louis weather. A lady came up to me and said she never does this! But she hugged me and told me God told her to let me know, everything was going to be alright. I praise God for that encounter. I know it was Him!❤️
I recently moved out of an abusive household. I felt like God was going to lead me somewhere better, but I was very caught up in the depression of things and the hurt I was feeling. God delivered me out of darkness! He gave me a new, loving home with three God-fearing women. I keep telling God that I haven't known what it's felt like to be loved in a home for so long. I am SO grateful to Him. He is changing me every single day. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF HIM! <3
A "coincidence" happened to me at church today. I was blindsided with a breakup 5 days ago & have been so incredibly sad ever since. I reached out to my old therapist 3 days ago, but haven't heard back from her. I prayed last night & this morning that she would contact me. Well, I've been visiting church w/ my cousin this Summer while she's staying with me. I've been to the church at least 5 times. Well today as I was leaving, I saw my therapist!! I've never seen her there before & couldn't believe it was her! I KNOW it was God that made us cross paths today! I was so happy to see her & chat with her for a few minutes. Idk what God is doing but I'm so thankful for those moments and seeing her today😊
The Lord is definitely pursuing me by introducing to more Christian creators. It’s beautiful that even in searching for makeup tutorials and travel bloggers the creators who’s videos I choose speak about the gospel💚
There is no coincidence in God’s kingdom. God gave me an internal medicine residency training position in Atlanta, GA in July, 2022 but the hospital I started my training closed in three months but God knew this would happen so He directed us to buy a home close to the other hospital which was 20 miles away from the current hospital that we would be transferred to complete our training. August 30, 2022 was the day I heard the closure of the hospital and the closing of our home. God knows your past, present and future. Glory to God!
"He loves you so much he doesn't want Heaven without you" ❤😍. That makes my heart smile. I love this!
“don’t get so caught up on the gift that you’re missing the giver behind it” wow Melody that hit hard! 😢❤
Last Sunday I decided to officially join my grandmother's church. So, yesterday after service, everyone was gathered in different groups conversing. However, I was sitting down kind of off to the side by myself. And as I was sitting there I began to think that I had made a mistake in joining the church because I felt left out because everyone else had someone else to talk to. A few moments later multiple people (including the bishop) began to walk up to me one by one and have a conversation with me. I immediately knew that God had heard me. All I could say was thank you.
I was really sad on Father’s Day because I don’t have the best relationship with my dad but as a kid he was my hero. I took to journaling and wrote out some of my favorite memories with my dad while tears flowed as I grieved what was, I also found joy. I just thanked God for the good memories He allowed me to have with my dad. And then a few minutes after that, me and my dad chatted on the phone. And he said, I talked about you in my sermon today. He went on to recall one of the memories I’d just written in my journal (picking flowers for my dad). And he said he really appreciated it. And then more tearssssss. God showed me that He cares about every part of my heart and He beautifully orchestrated that sweet moment with my father. 💕He really is ALWAYS chasing us down with His love. 😭🫶🏾
God is pursuing me to be a woman after His heart and to bring ppl toward Him. I used to get so caught up and wrapped up in trying to support ppl and help them fight their demons that I forget that there’s power in prayer and trusting that He can do a better work than I could ever do. Everywhere I go for “peace”, ppl share their troubles or stories with me and I sometimes get so frustrated by it because I didn’t ask for it lol. But God is revealing to me that that is a gift and I can use it to show ppl the power of His works and pray for them without getting overly invested in their lives. He has given me peace of mind and the ability to detach and allow Him to do is thing while also supporting the person when they reach out and from afar. I’ve never been in such a place that I have so much internal peace in the midst of chaos and change, it is scary.
I call these moments GOD Kisses 😚❤
God has been pursuing me through everything. Car rides, Tiktok lives, prophetic voices, in my mind. Just everywhere in everything. He speaks💛
God showed me literally today that he wants me to trust and listen to myself and not be wish washy on situations but to be solid.
God has been pursuing me to give me His peace! In situations where I would typically be anxious and all over the place, He has provided peace and comfort in Him.
This past week at work has been incredibly stressful and filled with drama. By the time Friday rolled around, I was completely worn out, irritated and frustrated. Before going to bed that night, I poured out my heart to God expressing to Him that I'm fed up and want to quit my job. The next morning, I came across a message shared by my pastor titled "Don't Quit". I listened to it and it was exactly the encouragement I needed to hear. Thank you God that you see, hear, speak, and constantly pursue me ❤
I had a dream about someone and then ran into them the very next day. I thought it was a coincidence. This person is such a ray of sunshine and speaks positivity and encouragement into other lives but I couldn’t help but feel this heaviness on them. I said a silent prayer for them as we parted ways. That was 3 days ago and I keep hearing God tell me to reach out to them and deliver a message to them. I was waiting on clarity and then I came across your video. This was not a coincidence. Thank you for the confirmation ☺️❤️
This can’t be a coincidence. My boyfriend sent me this exact verse / passage this morning around 11 am (i was asleep and he was working, it was almost his lunch time.) i woke up just a few min after the text and read the verse.
God was in pursuit of me, when he woke me up at 3:00am where I felt his presence. I prayed with so much love, read my bible and I had also received a word that changed my perspective. If I did not wake up that time I would have not done those things. Because I obeyed, I completed my work in less time than I would have usually done it. Jesus gave me the intelligence. So we praise God in all things. It did not make sense at the time but it makes sense now.
My spirit immediately became happy once I saw you recently uploaded! May God continue to cover and bless you as you do his work.
