"You have listened to fears again, child," said Aslan. "Come let me breathe on you. Forget them. Are you brave again?"

Prince Caspian, The Chronicles of Narnia

C.S. Lewis

Lately I have been pushing away from the Lord.  I have been seeking out my own interests and failing to recognize his love around me.  Frustration and bitterness fill my mind regularly.

I have been forgetting the truths of what God has for me, that I am Free & Fearless.

"God I am like the prodigal son, running away from you.  I am seeking out my inheritance in my own power, rejecting your grace and goodness.  My fears have led me here.

But EVERYWHERE I run I see you hiding.  Ever step I take leads me closer to your will. You will not release me. You never forget me. When I try to dirty myself you say I am clean.  You have already washed me clean, I have your righteousness.  Let me run into your arms."

I miss my Abba.

And I know he is waiting, I just have to turn around and run.
