I was reading my Bible yesterday and flipped to a random page, and...my life changed. It was one of those moments when you feel God surround you with His perfect peace. Some of you know I have been going through some difficult circumstances lately, and yesterday I resorted to a few moments alone with my journal and Bible. I didn't expect much, but my heart was filled beyond my feeble expectations.
The passage I read at random was Hosea 6:1-3:
1 “Come, let us return to the LORD.
For He has torn us, but He will heal us;
He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.
2 “He will revive us after two days;
He will raise us up on the third day,
That we may live before Him.
3 “So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
And He will come to us like the rain,
Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
About a month ago, I was convicted of putting a certain thing in my life before God. I was suffering from different physical problems and stress. And for some reason, God seemed so far away. But God showed me that I didn't have His closeness because I had chosen someone else instead of Him. Ever since then, I have struggled with giving it up. Sometimes I am feeling "spiritual" and it comes easy, other times, I am feeling "fleshly" and am wanting to hold on. Yesterday, was life changing for me. As I read the first line, I realized that's what I needed to do. Return to the LORD, and receive His healing and peace. Again.
This is my life journey...to always run back to the Arms of my Father whose love can satisfy the deepest hurts and longings.
I want to invite you to join me. Let's return to Him again...shall we?
