Never Too Late

I've been having many conversations with people that have just been a real encouragement. Many of these people I would not even think would be having a talk about this topic is here right in front of me (well over the internet at times). The theme within all of these conversations were similar: I think I need God again.

These stories are similar as well. I know what is right, but I continue to do what is wrong. What is wrong has been such a drawing factor in their lives that this is what they believed was worth living for. Life has been so lively and fulfilling in terms of social life and social acceptance from other people that there is no longer a need for the love of an omnipotent God. The God that we once knew that pushed to the recesses of the mind and forgotten. God, in reality, who everyone needs in their lives, was just something else.

What we fail to realize, and I included need to hold this simple fact into my heart, that God actually waits for you. The common phrase goes, "Love waits for no one" is not entirely true; it does not apply to our Heavenly Father. Our God will wait for us, the prodigal sons and daughters, time and time again as we fall away. As we run away and decide that other things in our lives are of more important worth at the moment, I find it to be quite interesting that we always go back to God in the end.

Why to God? Why not to the things that we loved so much? I'm sure i don't have to articulate such a point because I am sure you have all felt it before and its not a good feeling.

In the end, it is never too late to go back to God. Take a sharpie and underline "never" on your computer screen.

Amen!
