Danny Gokey Says ‘[God’s] Love Has Never Failed Me’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Christian artist Danny Gokey is sharing how God has been there for him in all his darkest moments.
“He was with me when I lost my first wife unexpectedly. He carried me through my secret bouts of depression and my battle with OCD,” Gokey wrote in a recent Instagram post. “He helped me find love again and gave me 4 beautiful kids. He’s proven his faithfulness to me but the best part about Him is: Even though I’ve failed him 1000 times — His love has never failed me.”
Gokey’s new single, “I Got You,” is playing in the background of the video.
“It’s a reminder that when you’ve got God by your side, you can face whatever comes your way!” he said of the song, per The Christian Beat. “Even when your world is shaking, believing that He is with you & will bring you through. My prayer is that this song encourages you to stand firm in that & keep praising, no matter what!”
The singer-songwriter often posts messages of encouragement and faith to his Instagram. One recent post saw Gokey reflecting on the importance of God’s timing.
“Of course, everyone’s story and journey are going to be different, but your first priority should ALWAYS be your relationship with and obedience to God!” he wrote. “For me, it involved being willing to lay down my big dreams and plans to serve the local church with my gifts. That obedience is what allowed God to build what He wanted in me BEFORE building my platform.”
Gokey continued, “But that happened in HIS timing – not mine and not the world’s. Don’t let anyone tell you that it’s too late (or too early) for you. You’re not too young, or too old. God doesn’t work that way. Serve and develop and use the gifts God has given you right where you are, trust Him to direct your steps, and see what He can do!”
Movieguide® previously reported on a post Gokey made about staying strong in the midst of struggles:
“Waiting for breakthrough? Praying for change? Asking for healing?” he wrote on Instagram. “It’s one thing to know that God is going to come through. It’s another to endure in the midst of the struggle.”
He continued, “No matter where you are today, and even if you never see the answer you want, this song is a reminder to stay strong, to hold onto your faith, and to never stop believing that God WILL work everything out for good!”
In another post, he reiterated this message.
“The Bible tells us to consider it JOY when we face trials of many kinds. Why? Because they are working to produce perseverance & maturity … if we let them,” Gokey explained.
“Joy is certainly not a first – or natural – response. Rather, we can become unstable and anxious. So what should we do?
Ask for wisdom. God will give it generously! He doesn’t want us to get stuck in our trials or bogged down in our feelings. He wants us to rise above! God has the solution before we even ask. We need only to believe!” he concluded.
