There are countless distractions in any given day to keep us from returning wholeheartedly to the Lord. There are so many thing that try to distract us from our first love. Remember the first time that God showed up and revealed His great love for you? How did you feel? How did you respond? Remember the days when you realized how great a sinner you were and how great a price Jesus paid to set you free? I want to return to the Lord and remember the love that He has for me and I have for Him. I am not ashamed as a man to say that I am a lover of God. There is no greater love or experience on this earth than to be a lover of God.
If you have been torn in any way by Him, He promises to heal you. Often times the tearing is a pruning process likened to John 15 that if you are a fruitful branch he will prune you to be even more fruitful. If you have been torn by the world, yourself, sin or any other hindrance...then He is more than able and qualified to bind you together again. He longs to do this. He is such a good father. If you have been struck down it is for the sake of being build back up. The Lord only wounds so that He can fully heal. He is a healer and a deliverer. He desires His best for our lives. Hold on and do not give up. You are more than the sum of your thought and emotions. You are more than the world will give you credit for. You are beloved royal sons and daughters.
