The Awakening

I feel as though I've been in a fog. Not sure when it started, not sure where it came from. Unfortunately, I don't think I even realized I was in it, until I started to come out.

My heart is grateful. God's love is so undeniable, even in spite of my drifting from Him, He is there. Okay, let's be honest - at times it seems as though I'm running from Him, and yet He's still there. Waiting, loving, caring, forgiving. Thank you Father for your mercy and grace.

I'm so thankful that I know Him. I'm thankful that I know in my head that I know Him, so when I can't feel it in my heart I can still cling to the truth. Sometimes it seems this is all I have to cling to.

I'm thankful that Jesus came right out and said that in this world we would have tough times but that we could rest in Him for He has overcome this world:

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

Thank you Lord for never forsaking us, even when we are lost in a self-induced fog. Thank you for your Word Father that is a lamp unto my feet, guiding me out of the fog and into your loving arms.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105)

Thank you God for your love unconditional, unending, undeniable.
