Walking Away and Coming Home AgainReconcile reconciliation

Walking Away and Coming Home Again

What causes a person to close the door on their relationship with the Lord? Lose faith? What makes some Christians – walk away?

Disappointment
Divorce
Death of a loved one
Financial loss
Rejection
Sickness
Offence

I think most people will experience at least one on this list and probably more than one. I’ve heard many people say one of these was what made them throw up their hands and walk away.

When Life Hurts the Most
When that hurt comes along, this is when it is vital for us to be there for one another – to help each other cling to God instead of turning away, and help bring us back when we lose our way. We need to keep loving, praying, and caring for each other. I cannot emphasize enough how much we must do this for each other in those difficult times in our lives. Satan wants that turning away to happen and he is probably clapping his hands when it does.

God Never Lets Go
For those of us who are God’s children, and something happens that causes us to let go of the grasp we’ve had on His hand and we turn away in anger, hurt, or disbelief – He never lets us go. We’re still His, no matter what. No matter how many years you live your life away from Him, when you breathe your last earthly breath, you are still His child with the everlasting life He died to give you when you accepted His gift of salvation. You will spend eternity in heaven with the Lord who never let you go.

If all God’s children could really grasp that now, and fully understand that He keeps holding onto you even when you “let go” of Him, would it make a difference?

A Choice to Come Back Home
I heard this testimony in a Sunday morning church service and it filled me with such hope for every person that faces deep pain and moves far away from a close walk with the Lord. This young man’s testimony reminded me that God is always calling us back to Him.

It was the testimony a man in his thirties shared about “stepping out of his relationship with the Lord” after a divorce, and almost becoming an alcoholic, until someone he worked with invited him to come to church, and since he was feeling at the end of his rope, he agreed to go with his co-worker to one church service. He beautifully said that when he went to that one church service, “It was like coming home, I felt the joy I remember knowing when I used to walk close with the Lord.” He admitted, he was the one that walked away, but he realized now that God had been there all along waiting for his return.

Romans 8:38-39
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“

Fragrance of Christ
Published July 25, 2019

Fragrance of Christ

“For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.” 2 Corinthians 2:15

When people look at me
Will they see You?
When people talk to me
Will they hear You?

When people come to me
And need the strength
That You can give

Will I show them
You’re the One
The only One they need?

If I’m your hands and feet
Will others know?
If I reach out with love
Will they know it comes from You?

If I step out and show the love
That You have shown to me

Will they come to You
Wanting what they’ve seen in me
Wishing for the same?

If they see You in me
Will they come?
Will they want to know You, Jesus
If they see You in me?

At the End of the Day
Published July 17, 2019

At the End of the Day

“I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah
I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.” Psalm 3:4-5 NKJV

At the end of the day when the day is done, after the setting of the sun … a good night’s sleep is calling your name.

You can already imagine your head softly sinking into your pillow.

You slip that last plate in the dishwasher, wipe off the counter and turn off the kitchen light.

Night has come. Rest awaits you.

Was it a day walked well with the Lord?

Did you talk to Him and rejoice in knowing you are His?

Did you tell Him all your hearts’ desires and trust they are safe in His care?

Did you cast all your worries into His hands, the big and the small and all the in between?

Did you trust Him with that fear that crept into your thoughts uninvited?

Did you acknowledge He is the one who knows what’s best?

At the end of the day when the day is done, was it a day walked well with the Lord?

“I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8 NKJV

Reflected Glory
Published July 4, 2019

Reflected Glory

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”  2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV

My Sunday evening walk took me past a small lake, calm and blue – reflecting the trees at the edge in still perfection.

My thoughts recalled the message in church that morning which was based on 2 Corinthians 3. Verse 18, the last verse in the chapter is the one my thoughts lingered on.

The thought that like a reflection in glass or a mirror, I can reflect the glory of the Lord – is the result of Christ’s Spirit working in me to make me more like Him.

That it is possible for me to reflect Jesus Christ because He dwells inside of me is a reality almost beyond my comprehension, yet doesn’t make it any less true. But it humbles me.

It should humble every believer and at the same time, it is an indescribable honor and an immeasurable challenge and responsibility. Thankfully, it is His work in us that accomplishes our transformation to make us more like Him, and that work will be accomplished more readily if we are willing vessels.

If we are willing vessels, day by day we will reflect the glory of our Lord.

The Deep Mystery
Published June 17, 2019

The Deep Mystery

“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.”  Psalm 8:3-5

There are days I want to say many things about God and faith, His grace and mercy and other aspects of this mysterious relationship we have with Him. But I can’t find the words that will adequately express what is stirring in my heart. The more I think about the privilege we have in walking in relationship with Him the more perplexed explaining it becomes.

The words are hard to find because who can explain God? Why is He mindful of us? Why does He want a close relationship with us? His Spirit that lives inside of me works in secret ways that no one else can explain. Not the highest scholar. Not the greatest theologian. Even the psalmist David grasps for words as he searches deep unto deep–trying to comprehend what cannot be understood.

By faith we understand this mystery is the treasure given us by our unseen God. As He lives in us day by day He continually works in us to build the relationship He designed mankind to have with Him – going all the way back to the garden of Eden in Genesis 3 with Adam and Eve. For the rest of the Bible our story unfolds as we see God still pursuing us, always pursuing us.

Instead of falling for the lies of the enemy and reaching for the forbidden fruit, let us reach for the Lord. Let us reach for God so we can walk in the garden in relationship with Him. Let’s reach for Him to know Him more. 

Psalm 42:1 “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.  “

Psalm 42:7-8 “Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and billows have gone over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me—A prayer to the God of my life.”

Being Transformed
Published June 4, 2019

Being Transformed

My scripture calendar deeply convicted me the day I read this powerful verse from 2 Corinthians.

2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

I paused with the 365 daily scripture flip calendar still in my hand meditating on the words of this single verse and thought about the work God does to transform me to the image of His Son Jesus.

Oh, I want to be transformed, I want to be more like Jesus.

There are days I can attest to the fact this work is genuinely underway and I know God is working on me and progress is being made on my part.

But today when I read that verse, all I could think was I am so far from the mark of where I should be.

I continue to stumble in areas where I know better, or should know better by now. I am re-learning lessons long learned but I regress.

Will I ever keep my tongue under guard as I should? Why can’t my propensity to form quick and erroneous assumptions just stop?

When will my heart naturally overflow with unconditional love to everyone? Yes, even the ones we find especially hard to love.

I had to stop making this mental list of all my shortcomings and remind myself hope is not lost. God is working on me. That does not mean I will not have battles and struggles, but it does mean that if I offer myself to Him to actively work in my life, I will be changed. I will be transformed from glory to glory. 

Romans 12:1-2  “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”

Thirst and Living Water
Published May 23, 2019

Thirst and Living Water

There is a paved walking trail a few blocks from our house that winds like a ribbon parallel to a creek and the woods along its banks. A large bridge gives passage across the creek and a view of the gurgling rippling water that flows beneath, with shadowy trees rising above the steep rock lined sides of this stream.

During the drought of 2011 I kept checking on the creek. I dreaded the day I would reach the bridge, peer over and find the flow of water had stopped, but it kept flowing all year.

The water did drop to an extremely low level, but there was always some movement, always the faint but soft pleasant singing of water passing under the bridge.

I thought about the Living Water Jesus is for us. I thought about the thirst in our lives that only He can quench. I thought about the satisfaction only He can bring. He is the answer to any drought in our lives and He holds the answer to all our needs.

For every frustration, He comes to me with peace. He loves me and doesn’t want me to stay in an agitated and bothered state. I place the frustration in His hands and my thirst for calm and peace is quenched.

When I am worried, He comes to me with rest and fretting turns to trusting. When I am lonely, He comes to me and promises to never leave me.When I am uncertain, He comes to me with truth and wisdom and opens my eyes to see more clearly.

When I don’t know where to go, He invites me to follow Him and trust where the path leads.

He pours all that He is into my life and my life is filled with Him. Jesus is the spring of living water and river of life that flows through me.

Jesus answered and said to her,

“…Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”  ~ John 4:13-14 (NKJV)

A Walk of the Heart
Published May 13, 2019

A Walk of the Heart

Jeremiah 29:13

“And you will seek Me and find Me, When you search for Me with all your heart.”

My soul ever longs to closer be … My heart seeks to know You more.

I wrote in my journal one morning declaring each day a brand new day to walk with the Lord. Then, as I paused to consider and examine what those words truly meant, I realized that much of that walking is walked out in my thoughts and prayers as I seek Him. This walking can be accomplished without taking one single step.

Walking with the Lord is a walk that takes place in the heart—a heart to follow Him.

I went on to write in my journal that “Today, walking with Him required me not to worry about something troubling that happened, but to pray and trust. Today, walking with Him has shown me through the reading of His Word that I am not helpless, but I am an over comer and more than a conqueror.”

Walking with the Lord has also taught me to never give up when visible answers to prayer are slow in coming. Walking with Him has shown me this week not to focus on the natural things of this world and circumstances surrounding me, but to keep my eyes on God and what only God can do.

My journey with the Lord is a walk to seek Him. 

This is a walk of the heart I choose to take each brand new day.

Heart and Breath
Published May 3, 2019

Heart and Breath

I may sound like a broken record in saying this. I state this often because I strongly believe it and long for you to also believe and fully experience it.

Our relationship with the Lord is the most important relationship there is.

In this relationship, we will receive benefits we could not imagine. In my own experience, I have found all the love He has to give is mine and I receive it new each morning, quietly alone with Him where I know daily the heart and breath of His love to me.

The joy that puts a bounce in my step just walking from room to room or across the aisle of the grocery store, that is the heart and breath He is to me! When I understand that I am loved by an Almighty God and heavenly Father, it is a natural progression to be filled with joy. How could this not fill me with great joy?

The heart and breath He is to me also comes in the peace He gives me. I don’t have to worry about what I do not know, because I have His peace, which is better than answers. Oh, I definitely start to worry, but I have to stop and remind myself what God’s Word tells me, and I choose to trade worry for His peace.

With His peace, I also gain comfort and strength to take me through the difficult days that life is sure to hold while we walk on this earth.

He fills my heart with all of this and more, and I live and breathe these blessings every day. In the strength of each beat of my heart and every breath I take, I will love the LORD my God. 

Mark 12:30 “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.”

There are Days
Published April 5, 2019

There are Days

There are days

When all things neatly line up as they should.
Then there are days when nothing lines up,
When nothing fits or looks the way
It seems that it should be.

Do I still trust when I don’t understand,
When I can’t see the way
It could possibly work out okay?

That’s when I trust the most…
that’s when I hold on tight,
That’s when I put my faith to work.
Faith believes God is making a way.

Faith believes
He can work all things for good,
When there are days all things line up –
When there are days
They don’t.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose”.  ~ Romans 8:28

Hold Fast To Him
Published March 25, 2019

Hold Fast To Him

“For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him – then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves.” Deuteronomy 11:22-23

I recently read these two verses above and could not miss the obvious lesson in verse 22–a beautiful outline for how we can build our relationship with God. This is how we can go deeper in our walk with Him. When we go deeper we will hold fast to Him. This is where we experience victory in our Christian life. For the Israelites that was driving out the other wicked nations, for us it is overcoming difficult circumstances in our lives.

How We Can Go Deeper

There are three progressions: Three Steps

It starts with Love.

Step 1: To love the Lord your God – I cherish this invitation from a High and Holy God who wants us to love Him.

Step 2: To walk in all His ways – This is what scripture teaches us in our Bible, how to live the Christian life. We must be reading His word to learn how to walk in His ways.

Step 3: And to hold fast to Him – This is what makes the difference in a close relationship and in difficult times. This is the vital key to going deeper. Hold on and hold on tight!

If we don’t hold fast, we are much more vulnerable to grow cold and/or to stray.

Holding fast keeps us close and will prevent us from straying and going after false gods or those things in our lives that take the place He should have, the preeminent place that is rightfully His.

Deuteronomy 13:4 is another verse that calls attention to holding fast and Joshua 22:5 brings this message home in the words of Joshua, chosen by God to be the Israelite leader and commander following the death of Moses.

Deuteronomy 13:4

“You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.”

Joshua 22:5

“But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 

Do you love the Lord? Are you walking in His ways? Are you holding fast to Him?

Hold on and hold on tight.

God Moves for Us
Published March 18, 2019

God Moves for Us

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. ~ Hebrews 11:6 

As I’ve been learning to walk by faith and obedience in my relationship with God, my examples have been many of the people in the Bible who exemplify what happens when we make a move of faith—God then moves for us. What do I mean by that? When we answer a call to faith and step out and make a move to demonstrate our faith, then God shows up. And when He moves, He does the supernatural.

In Joshua 6, Joshua and the Israelites faithfully and obediently marched around the Jericho wall shouting and blowing their trumpets, and the wall fell flat. The wall that was wide enough for two chariots to pass on its top fell flat. No one blew it up—they blew trumpets.

In 1 Samuel 17, David took a slingshot and five stones, and God sent that first stone in a deadly hurl straight into Goliath’s head. David didn’t have a super bionic arm. He had faith in an all-powerful God.

In Judges 7, God told Gideon to downsize his army and gave him instructions on how to do so. Gideon had obeyed God’s directive and started with an army of thirty two thousand, but God said, tell the ones who are afraid that they may leave, and the numbers quickly dropped to ten thousand. Then God said, that’s still too many, and He dropped the numbers again to three hundred with a water-lapping test. With these three hundred remaining men, the battle was won—with trumpets, pitchers, and torches, not traditional weapons of war!

These are only a few instances of many we read in the Bible, but the lesson is clear in all of them. Faith and obedience please God, and then God moves for us! A demonstration of faith will produce a God-sized result, and a God-sized result is greater than anything we could do on our own.

When we are facing monumental situations in our lives, these examples from scripture remind us to stand firm in our faith, walk diligently in obedience, and fully trust that God is going to move on our behalf.

When Life is a Perplexing Journey
Published March 7, 2019

When Life is a Perplexing Journey

There have been many times in past years, even decades, that my life did not track the way I thought it would. Yet, I learned that when it doesn’t track according to my plan, that doesn’t mean it isn’t tracking according to God’s plan. When I watched my life take twists and turns that did not seem to add up to any expectation of what I perceived to be God’s plan for my life, I wrestled with how to deal with the perplexing turns my life was taking.

I know God is in the business of changing, moulding, shaping, and testing us. There will be unexpected twists and turns in the events of our lives that will make us wonder what God is doing and the answer won’t seem clear at all. That is part of the test to see if we are serious about the work He has called us to do. It is also part of the test to see if we are willing to be changed, moulded, and prepared for what He has planned for us in His perfect timing, perfect way, and in His perfect will.

I don’t know if the perplexing part of my journey was God changing me, preparing me, testing me, or the enemy assaulting me, or if it was all of those. If God was changing me, I am definitely a different person now. If He was testing me, I want to pass the test.  If He was preparing me, I am thankful for the work He is doing in me. If the enemy was attacking me, he failed.

God is building something out of our lives, and the beginning product does not look like the finished product. God is the one with the blueprint and the plan. Looking back across the years of my life’s journey, I can trace God’s work in my life through many turns in the road, including detours and disappointments, along with joy and blessings. Ultimately, His will is being accomplished in my life, and I choose to walk this road with Him, even when I don’t know where the road is leading.

Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.”

Faith and Hope
Published March 3, 2019

Faith and Hope

What if there was no faith to keep your hope alive?
What if there was no hope to keep your faith strong?

By faith I believed and salvation was my gift.
By faith and hope I know what I believe.

I believe in God
His love
His grace
His Son
His plan for my life.

All of this gives me hope for all I need faith for
Today…
And all I need faith for
Tomorrow.

Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen“

Hold Tight to Faith
Published February 19, 2019

Hold Tight to Faith

The faith we hold tight
…is the faith that carries us through all our days.  

When every step you take looks like a dark, foggy path
And life feels like a constant uphill climb,

It’s easy to grow discouraged
And think about giving up.

That’s when you hold tight to your faith
And keep moving forward …

Placing one foot in front of the other
Trusting God will lead you all the way.

You may not know exactly where you are going,
But you know the One who makes a way for you.

Psalm 18:32-33
‘It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places.”
