An Everyday Expression of Hope and Its Potential

An Everyday Expression of Hope 

Running Back To You

February 2, 2015 by John Hembree Leave a Comment

running“I thought about the wrong direction in which I was headed, and turned around and came running back to you.”  King David

Returning to a previous place I have held with God is not as easy as one might consider it to be.

First, in order to return, I must address that which I ran toward, while running away from that which I knew to be right.

It could be any number of things.

In my case, I am convicted by my own failings.

Failings in multiple areas.

And in this state of conviction, I say repentant prayers, of which come natural to me, because I have prayed them before and I know and understand religious jargon.

Yet now, I look for the deeper words, because I am only one step back toward God and He seems a long distance away.

So, as simple as it may seem, I pray the words given to me through scripture.

“Encourage and cheer me with your words.”

“Keep me far from every wrong.”

“Nothing is perfect except your Word.”

I should probably write that last one down.

“Nothing is perfect except your word.”
