A Break!
I remember telling God, that I was going to take a break from the Christian life, to live a little!
That was a little over elven years ago! Today as I sit here and think back to that day, it was a nice sunny California day, I was on the I-5, traffic was flowing everything was going well! I had decided to take a break from work, why not take one from everything! I could do whatever I pleased and I wouldn’t have to worry about God, because the door that lead to my heart had a sign that read “On Break” There was no limit to my new found freedom.
Mexico here I come! Night after night, party after party, club after club, drink after drink, woman after woman, I showed my freedom, but I didn’t feel free. Everyone around me, wanted to be in my shoes, except me. I tried everything to fill the emptiness that i felt, shopping, going to spas, the beach, my days were filled from the moment I got out of bed until I return to bed. I was living the good life, but life didn’t feel good! One day a friend invited me to Church, I accepted, the only problem was when Sunday arrived I was to drunk to even get out of bed. We made a date for the following Sunday! well this time I made it and the sermon for that Sunday was the, The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) I’m sure you know what happened! I’m not sure what would have happened, had I gone the week before, I only know that, that sunday my heavenly Father had prepared a message just for me! God Bless!
Father we thank you, that you are a forgiving God. Father at times we have turned our backs on you, yet you welcome us back into your open arms, we ask Father, that, You would help us to be faithful, just as You are faithful. Father in Jesus name we ask and receive these things, Amen (breconciled/ ken).
