I Have Followed You

I have followed along after you, although most of the time I was rebellious, but still, I followed. You have tolerated me beyond reason especially when I kept looking back at the things I had done and planned to do them again. I was not the child a father could be proud of. I did things I knew you hated. I have stomped on your principles and dragged them through the dirt and even turned my back on you. I have spent years of my life doing the things I wanted, only coming to you when I was beaten, hurt and ashamed of the things I had done, just hoping you would grab hold of me . But you did not. No. You could have but you did not. It was my choice and you let me make it over and over again until I finally realized you were not hoping to grab hold of me at all, but instead you were hoping I would grab hold of you.

Thanks for sharing, friend. God’s love is unconditional and He is waiting with open arms. It’s true that we displease him may times and run back during adversity. Blessings to you!
