Last night, I had the chance to sit with my thoughts and reclaim my words. I had been away from the pen (or in this case the keys) for a while because I couldn't bring myself to write anything positive or encouraging. I, myself was wallowing in the pity known as the devil's trap. But now, I am walking in the Light again and it is my existence. But now, I am wondering how many times the Lord will welcome me back from my own pits of despair? He is always there saying, "Daughter, you know that's not what I have for you!" And I always beg forgiveness as I walk back into His loving arms. He takes me back because He knows I love Him, but needs yet another chance!
Who else is like me? I know I am not alone. It does not matter what walk you are on, you are not alone! There is always someone there, thinking they are on their journey solo. While in a deep conversation with the Lord, I pleaded with Him for "relief" from my trials. But His response put me in my place! "He said as clearly as I had asked, "Daughter, Go Through, for I have a Plan for you." Weeping uncontrollably, I had heard this before, over and over again. And instantly, the Lord encouraged me by saying, "I change NOT!" I am so happy to know that the Lord doesn't change. For when I have another valley episode, if I went back to the Lord and He wasn't there, what would I do? I tell you, people, don't leave the Lord! I appeal to you to cling to His promises, His plan and His purpose. Nothing else will last! Not Facebook, jobs, bank accounts, him, nor her...ONLY CHRIST!
