Are you running from God? Blaming other people for the things that have gone wrong in your life? It's not their fault. Your issue is not with your husband or wife. It's not with your kids or your parents. It's not with your friends or coworkers. It's with the Lord.
Every step you take in your desire to get farther from God is stomping all over the hearts of those who love you. Is it worth it? You know what? There is no where you can go to get away from God anyway. Your running is futile!
This is not about your marriage. It's not about your job or your parenting skills. It's about you and God. Period.
So stop. Right where you are. Now. Turn around. Look up. You are looking into the face of your Savior. He has been there all along. Running after you. He loves you so much! Go ahead. Do it. One step and you are in His arms. Covered in forgiveness. Living the amazing life He has planned for you. Time is wasting. Won't you take that one step in the right direction now? Please?
““But even now,” says the Lord, “repent sincerely and return to me with fasting and weeping and mourning. Let your broken heart show your sorrow; tearing your clothes is not enough.” Come back to the Lord your God. He is kind and full of mercy; he is patient and keeps his promise; he is always ready to forgive and not punish.”
Joel 2:12-13
““Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them — what do you do? You leave the other 99 sheep in the pasture and go looking for the one that got lost until you find it. When you find it, you are so happy that you put it on your shoulders and carry it back home. Then you call your friends and neighbours together and say to them, ‘I am so happy I found my lost sheep. Let us celebrate!’”
Luke 15:4-6
