Spring break started off fine, but poor Emma brought home a stomach virus. So, I've been home with her and Jon. Troy is home today. :-(
So, yesterday something happened that I'd like to share.
Emma has a tendency to walk without looking where she is going. Lol. She falls, cries and then gets back up again. Yesterday, that happened as I was laying on the couch. I put my arms out to her, but she wouldn't come. So, Jon picked her up and brought her to me. I snuggled her a bit and she got over it and got back down. Then, not one minute later, same thing happens! This time, I held my arms out and she came to me.
Isn't that how we are with God? We fall down, get hurt and instead of going to our Father, we stay right where we are. A lot of times wallowing in our pain, refusing his love and comfort. Sometimes, we stay there way too long!
I was fortunate to have someone that helped pick me up and bring me back to God. The cool thing is we walked back to God together. My sweet friend, Sara, in her pain and hurt brought me back to Christ.
I've had plenty of friends and family praying, I'm very blessed. But it took someone I met on Facebook that God told me to buy a book for.
Don't stay down. Don't resist God. I wasted so much time not accepting His love and forgiveness. It is freely given! No strings attached. Nothing you have to do but accept it.
