This morning I went upstairs and found it on a shelf. I truly believe The Holy Spirit made me open my devotional/journal, "Jesus 90 Days With The One And Only." I hadn't read it since November of 2012. (I'm glad I dated it.) It's interesting that the topic of the day where I left off was when Peter denied Jesus three times.
Denial.
Beth Moore posed a question: Has there been a time when I feel I have denied Him in any way either by action, words or even in silence? I didn't have to think about it long. I'm here to tell you openly this morning that yes, I have definitely denied Him, but lately I have worse than denied Him. I won't go into the nitty-gritty details, but trust me when I tell you.
God did not just create this beautiful world we live in; He came to teach us how to love well and to teach us His Ways. When I act as if I don't need God in my life I am choosing a dangerous road. He doesn't just want us to come to Him when we are in desperate need; He wants our every moment and He wants us to hold His hand and follow His lead.
I'm grateful that I have had this weekend home alone, to start over... again. I'm also grateful that God welcomes this prodigal daughter back every single time. I believe in the depth of my soul that He is exactly the man I've been looking for.
I Am That Man by Brooks and Dunn
You put your heart up on a shelf
I know it's hard to be by yourself
You need someone that's true and strong
Baby someone just came along
I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am
Talk is cheap, it ain't worth a dime
So don't talk to me, just five me some time
I'm gonna show you what love can be
My job won't be done until you believe
