Abandonment

God answered, "I will be with you and this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain".  Exodus 3:12

This verse to me means God will always be with me. He will never leave me or abandon me. It's true that when we need Him the most, He carries us. He has been with me throughout this whole ordeal for the last 2 years, I just had to ask for Him, had to seek Him.  I had to give up all of my worry & anxiety to Him. I have to trust in His plans, even though I don't know what they are. His plans are so much greater than my own. 

Kutless' song "When You Come Back Home" really hit me tonight. I had moved away & turned my back on God. But when I sought Him again, He was still there, waiting for me, His lost child.  


How wonderful it is to know that our Heavenly Father will always forgive us, will always welcome us back into His arms. He will always run out to greet us when we come back to Him. 

Thank you Jesus, for your love and mercy and your grace. Thank you for always accepting us back into your arms, even when we have turned our backs on you and left your fold. 


-Glory be to God
