Forgive my mistakes spell check is absent

32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
Luke 12:32

Broken I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch
Restores my life

So I wait for You
So I wait for You

I’m falling
I’m falling for You
Jesus You’re all
This heart is living for
Hungry- Kuttless

I don't exactly like where I am right now. I feel unsatisfied. I am scared and I am longing for more. I am longing for a freshness. I am longing for one touch. I am longing for some sort of transformation. I am tired of walking through life like everything is dark and confusing. It feels so empty and aimless sometimes. I am afraid that life has no purpose. I have no idea where I am heading.

Earlier I was praying and I felt comforted. In the silence I heard God speak. He said I will not let you go. I will never let you go. Remember that nothing at all could ever seperate you from my love. I just felt this warm embrace like wash over me. I felt at peace. He gave me Luke 12 to read. It's a really good read.

Anyway Luke 12 is all about Jesus talking to the Pharisees. He talked about how if even one lost sheep, or one lost coin, or a lost son were found how the angels would rejoice. He talked about how desperately someone would go out to look for whatever was lost because he or she loved the person or thing very much.

One of the stories tells about this son who wanted all of his inheritence.  So his dad gave it to him. The son then went out and spent all of his inheritence on parties and prostitutes. He eventually went broke and got hired to feed pigs. He was starving and realized that if he could just work for his dad at least he would have something to eat. He struggled to get home. When his dad saw him off in the distance he ran to his son. He embraced with genuine love. The son then goes dad forgive me I have sinned against heaven and you. The father was overcome with so much joy, love and compassion that his son came back that he threw him a party.

See God will allow me to make my own mistakes. He loves me enough to take me back. He rejoices when I come back to him.

In a way I was kind of like the son. I went off and did my own thing. The more I continued the more I felt unsatisfied, but I take heart in knowing that God isn't going to let me go. He still loves me and his arms are wide open to embrace me when I come running back to him.


"My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word."
Psalm 119:81
