Loving Learning Stuff – blogs

Journeys of the Seekers

I haven’t written for six years or promoted my Historical fiction series, and blog posts have been on hold.

Six long, difficult years passed me by while dealing with life -glass half-full- situations.

I’m sure you know what I mean? Life gets on top of you so you function on auto pilot dealing with whatever life throws at you.

And throughout those 6 years I forgot my strongest support, who I should have leaned on day by day, minute by minute.

I forgot I had a loving, caring helper who had promised He would never leave me, and would never give me more than I could handle, and whose one desire was for me to continue the relationship we had had for 25 years. The Creator God.

Why is it that in the bitter times of our lives we lose faith and take up the fight trying to cope on our own?

Why does all the years of experiencing Our Lord’s faithfulness simply evaporate away and be lost?

And how does one return to the fold like a lost lamb, bleeting for its parent?

Yes, I found my way back:

-By taking captive of my thoughts, and -recalling God’s faithfulness, -returning to supportive believers and -sharing what had happened. And most importantly, -calling out to Father God, Jesus our saviour. -Calling , “Lord help me”.

For unbeknown to me and all those of us who have lost faith, God has been close by all the time.

-He promised to never leave or forsake us.

-He called us back as He has chosen us. He loves us.

And like the son who returned home to his father and family, the celebration began.

It has for me.

-I’m eager to restore the years stolen, and

-have been given an earnestness to rekindle my faith. -Hungering for the Word, and

-soaking in the teachings.

-The right people have entered my life and – opportunities to grow as a person of faith has resulted. -Prayer, prayer is like never before.

The big questions are being posed and answered. It is as if all God wants from me is to lean on Him, grow in relationship as He guides me day by day.

Only from a re- formed heart can we do good towards others. Not good works, but loving kindness which draws the broken to where they find healing.
