THROWBACK TO GUATEMALA
This past week I have been learning how much energy preschoolers have and how fast they can run. I have run halfway across the field to get this one kid but at the end of the day it’s all worth it.
Because in the same way it’s like how the Lord is running after me when I run away from him.
I’ve been running away from him for the past 2-3 years without really even knowing it. Because I was afraid but the thing about the Lord is that he will chase after me and it doesn’t matter how for he has to go he will continue to chase after me.
I was afraid that if I let someone in that they would eventually leave and I hate to say this but I felt this way about the Lord. I was afraid that if I let him and have control of my life that someday he would eventually see all the broken parts of myself and he wouldn’t me and he would leave me.
I have tried to run away from him for the past few years but now that I look back on those years I see one thing. That one thing is that the Lord has been chasing after me all this time and I didn’t even know it.
I had people around me trying to help bring me back to him but I always just never listened. I wanted to live my life however I wanted and I didn’t want anyone to have a say in how I lived it. I didn’t care how it would effect those around me or even myself for that matter.
I can try to run away from him as much as I want but let’s be real at the end of the day, he will catch up to me. There is no way that I could possibly out run the Lord.
Just like how in the song reckless love it talks a out how the Lord is going to chase after us.
The thing is that after all this time of running away from the Lord out of fear, he has finally caught me and I don’t have that fear that he will leave me. I know that he will be with me every step of the way.
