Run Back into His Love

 Fall But Rise Again

For how many times I do forget that God is faithful? For how many times I tried to run away from Him? When I face trials, I seem to be knocked down. But still, my Lord reminds me that I am "more than a conqueror in Christ". He fought the grave for me, to save me and bring me back into His love.

Proverbs 24:16 ESV

For the righteous falls seven times and rises again,

but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

God has declared His chosen people to be righteous in His sight through the redemption in Jesus Christ. And therefore, as chosen ones, we might fall on life's road, but we can still stand firm with our faith in God.


Heart Fixer

There were times that I became hateful of myself when I've had extreme failures. Being distressed, I made my heart harden like a rock. I would grit my teeth and distort my face in a way that my brows are fixed in a brusque demeanor. I was like a fool. There shouldn't have been any of these acts but I was putting myself down. Moments later, I would ask myself why I'm having those attitudes. I would try to discern it and understand what should I really act. But unless there is the wisdom and the presence of God, I wouldn't be able to make things right. I felt that the Spirit is in control of me, because even if I turn away from Him, He is around me, and so when I turn back, it is still Him who will approach me. God fixes my heart because He is my Healer. When I hear Him again speak from His Word, I am reminded that I'm loved. He will always welcome me when I run back into His love. Even if I stumble, He will catch me and will never let me fall. I might run anywhere but Jesus will still be there, and better is life with Him than a thousand elsewhere.
