Reunited with God... again!

Thank you God for the strength and courage to hold on to the edge of Jesus cloak instead of falling for the temptation of listening to the lords of the earth and their empty promises although frankly there are times when I have been tempted to think of you and compare you as one of them. Thank you for the one string-courage- that makes me feel worthy of approaching you and allowing you to bathe me in your waters of mercy and grace. So here I am!

Thank you for granting me the ability to decide whats best for me and to take responsibility to follow through with actions that will manifest my vision to be the person I know that you created me to be. To continue to endure my lot and still enjoy peaces of mind that makes the darkest day seem like the brightest night, I need your constant presence and comfort to keep me safe and protected and your promise to guide me beside still waters and reassurance that this is so. Many times I blasted you for leaving me alone in the desert, then in hindsight I have to confess my sin of ‘oh ye of little faith’ when I recount all my inventory of your inklings along the way.

Thank you that even if only in hindsight you make sense; and, your wisdom and essence never fail me in seeing how the dots connect. I feel my life coming back to me; and, as the fragments of my soul glued back together. I am happy that hindsight is the road that leads to salvation- a way out; like being on top of the mountain peak and seeing the vast scope of possibilities- intriguing…mesmerizing. For a moment, even for a moment, all things seem in order and the world and all its mayhem makes sense.

I suppose that should help me to accept the fray with more confidence; however, this is not always the case. So I thank you for never dreading me when I feel insecure about your purpose or not understand how you plan on bringing all things together for good. As I have told you on numerous times, I do not always like your style or some of your ideas about adversities yet I keep my promise to never run away from you indefinitely. I used to kid myself and think I would never leave your side but lately that is all I was tempted to do and therefore I have to confess that sometimes I need a break from you so that I can make sense of my nonsense and even then, you refuse to leave me alone.

God, You are still with me even though I do not want you near me. Nothing I do or say scares you and that’s a tangible evidence of your unconditional love! I couldn't believe it when God wrapped himself around me and said, welcome, welcome home, welcome back home my beloved!Frankly, sometimes I still have to pinch myself that you love me so! This too makes me want a little time to get used to such love! I know you understand why!

Thanks!
