How Quickly We Forget

Oh how quickly we forget. So much happens through the years. So many changes within.  So many alterations without.  And somewhere, back there, we leave Him. We don’t turn away from Him—we just don’t take Him with us. Assignments come.  Promotions come.  Budgets are made. Kids are born, and Christ—the Christ Jesus is forgotten.

Has it been a while since you stared at the heavens in speechless amazement? Has it been a while since you realized God’s divinity and your carnality? He is still there.  He has not left. Do yourself a favor. Stand before Him again. Or better, allow Him to stand before you.

A man is never the same after he simultaneously sees his despair and Jesus’ grace. To see the despair without the grace is destructive. To see the grace without the despair is futility. But to see them both is conversion!
