For Those Who Love Him

God is faithful. 

Over the course of the past couple of years I finally realized this. Over the past several decades if there was any walking away, it was me who turned my back. God, being patient, waited and watched. Jesus was never far from me. 

I have been blessed beyond measure. And when I look back over my years, I don’t see how I deserve to have such goodness in my life now. All I can say is that the depth of my heart must still be sincere and God can see that. 

Never once did he leave me all alone. I see this so clearly now. 

I walked away in anger. I turned my back when I felt wise. I left when life seemed to be going well and “didn’t need him”. I walked away in vanity and pride. 

But, then…I’d fall. 

And this became my unhealthy cycle in life. Leaving and returning. Leaving and returning. A lot of wasted time was spent doing this. But, I was learning and growing, even if it was at a slow pace. So I guess it wasn’t completely wasted time.

For those who love God, know that he is never far from you. If you feel abandoned check closely to see who is doing the walking. As much as we humans want to blame God for everything wrong in our life, it simply isn’t true. ♥️
