Not to Us

Up until the summer I was being very inconsistent in my Christian faith. But recently I've become revived in my walk. It could be that I met a wonderful women who challenges me and points me to Christ. Or it could be that God just had to teach me a lesson on faithfulness. I'd get so down on myself and get angry at God for leaving me. One morning I realized God never left me. I left Him. I left His path and He was still there waiting for me to come back.  The greatest thing ever is God's love. We as people think we know whats right for us. We tell God "I got this God" and then we fall on our face and get all get indignant at God "Where were you God?"  When in reality He was right there were we walk away. But even better our Heavenly Father doesn't kick us when we're down. He calls our name, my son, my daughter, and He picks us up and takes us back so lovingly. We have done nothing to deserve His love. I will never fully understand how the God of the universe would come to earth be betrayed, beaten, denied and ultimately die for me. But that's the beauty of grace. It's getting what you don't deserve.
