Wow, this week has been so refreshing. It’s going to be hard to put into words, but I’ll do my best. Since getting to Linkyear, I’ve honestly neglected getting in the word on my own and spending time with the Lord every day. I had somehow convinced myself that I was “getting my fill” from doing my precepts, going to class, and having deep talks, but there was nothing personal going on in my relationship with the Lord. But, last week, our small group leader challenged us to re-evaluate how we did our quiet time and I was just like “I haven’t been having a quiet time.” But I wasn’t the only one. A lot of us had convinced ourselves that we were too busy or that we were getting enough of a filling from somewhere else.
So, in response to having that realization and getting bombarded by stuff from every side, the only thing I knew to turn to was the word and prayer. Restarting that correspondence between God and I was seriously like talking to a friend that I’ve been neglecting, but have missed so badly. And the Lord would reveal scripture to me that just blew my mind and the essence of what he was speaking to me through it has stuck with me every day.
I’ve been reading through Romans lately and Friday I was reading chapter three and verses three and four say “And what if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar.” How awesome is that ?! Even though I was neglecting my relationship with the Lord and being unfaithful and wishy washy, He was still right by my side, the most steadfast companion.
This comfort and realization has been so refreshing and it is seriously like a breath of fresh air. I’m able to breathe a little easier and know that I’m not going at this alone, even when I’m rebellious and think I can do this alone, He’s always faithful.
