A time for Change

I have been running away from God for the past year and half due to things and decision that I have made in my own life. I have decided to finally stop running and face my sins. The hard part in every decision we make that is not for God and is for man, is knowing that we have made God sad but we also have to remember that once we come running back to God he is there with his arms open wide,ready for us to run into.

I was reading the Bible and this verse jumped out at me Pr. 26:27 "If a man digs a pit, he will fall int it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him."

It got me thinking about the verse. I dug a pit and I feel in it. God was always checking on me, looking in the pit saying are you ready and me saying no not yet. God saying OK well I will be here waiting for you. I finally am ready to get out of the pit and let God take full control of my life. To let God walk with me on my path. Not me walking by myself and with Satin there saying OK shes vulnerable now.

I also have been reading the book of Hosea, I don't really ever remember reading the book of Hosea. When we were children I remember it being mentioned. Other then that I don't remember reading it. As I am reading it I keep thinking wow look at how God loved the people even though they were horrible , but he loved them enough to put his foot down to them. Like parents put there foot down with there children and even when its hard and sad to see what happened.

The relationship Hosea had with his wife Gomer. He loved her even thought she was an adulterous. He still loved her with open arms and told her to come back to him and he would take care of her. If you really think about it the relationship Hosea and Gomer had is like the relationship God has with us when we decide we are going to do whatever we want and everything we know is wrong under God.
God is standing there with his arms wide open saying come to me and I will take care of you.

This is a quote I thought was so good " God forgives you, you have to forgive yourself" priest in October baby

Once we go and fall in front of God's holy throne and ask him to forgive us of our sins we have to forgive ourselves. We cannot live in the pain of what we did while in sin, but what God has done by dying on the cross and taking our sins upon him, know we can go to him.

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness: by his wounds we are healed." 1 Peter 2:24
