I'm back! It took a long time coming. Back in May my boyfriend broke up with me, and when I was hurting instead of turning to God for help I just turned away. While I still attended service and went through the motions, my heart wasn't in it. But today, for the first time in three months I picked up my Bible again and began to read. The passage hit me and I realized it was exactly what I needed to see.
"Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what was evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgement...Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart...Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore me to the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit." Psalms 51:3-4, 6, and 10-12.
We've all sinned, and God knows that. He gave us a way to get back on the road to righteousness. Depending on yourself is no fun or easy task, and we shouldn't have to! Christ is there for us, calling and imploring me come to him. It's a tricky world out there, why encounter it alone?
