There are times when I will fall away from Christ. I am a human and a sinner always. In those times, I will try to do things on my own and will experience some momentary success in accomplishing things. But, the success will not last. At least it will not last beyond the moment or this life here in this world. I will need to come back to the Lord. And He will be there waiting on me.
“48Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’
Praise the LORD!”
— Psalm 106:48 (ESV)
God will be with me when I drift away and pursue things on my own, and He will be with me when I come back to Him. The truth is that He never leaves me. He was there in the eternity before me and the eternity after me and during my time here.
God always remembers me and the covenant He made with me. He will be there by my side always. Regardless of my attention to Him, He will have attention on me. He will protect me and comfort me and all I have to do is accept. No matter how I fell away, or how many times, I will always be able to come to Christ and He will be there with arms wide open to accept me and all that I am with the love that only He can give.
When you have fell away from Christ, what were your thoughts of coming back? Were you reluctant to do so as you felt He may not accept you? What if you approached it knowing that He was there before and during your departure and will be there as well with your return?
