Its been quite some time since I've added to this blog, and I think its about time I did. For about a year, I faithfully added some things to think about on a weekly basis. As time went on, I became slack in my blogging. However, God allowed me to. You see, He is the one that started this and I just thought He was finishing it. And in a sense He was, at least for a little while. Or maybe it was me and God just let me. He does that sometimes.
I think about the many times I left Him and just went about my own ways. He always let me, yet He always drew me back. I'd get fire up and eventually slip away, again and again. And yet, God is faithful, He would draw me back to Him, again and again. I think at times, God allows us to follow our own ways, even if they are not the right ways. When we've had enough, He loving takes us back. Eventually, we understand that we really do need Him and that He loves us.
Sort of like our own children. As parents, there are times we just need to step back and let them make their own mistakes. After all, we teach right from wrong the best we can and try to explain to them that it is to keep them safe. Yet they will stray, even if just a little. When they are young, they come to you with their scraped knees and elbows after you warned them not to not play on the stairs. As they grow, they sometimes make wrong decisions, but when they've had enough heartache, they come back to you for comfort and love.
Just like we do with our heavenly Father.
