Have You Wandered Away From God?

"Weary or tired of bewildered as we may be, God is faithful. He lets us wander so we will know what it means to come home." Marilynne Robinson

 Are you tired today? Are you weary and bewildered, trying to figure out where you are? Maybe you are just feeling lost today, and in fact, have wandered away from God. You might be asking yourself, "Where do I go?" "Why would God let me get to this point?" and "Can I even go back now that I have strayed away?" If you have found yourself lost, and asking yourself these questions, know this, even though you have wandered from God, that doesn't mean that He has stopped watching over you. Just because you have strayed further away doesn't mean that God has. He is not going to wander away from you. But why does God let us wander in the first place? Well, if you are in a place today that you feel is distant from God and you are feeling a bit lonely, know this, God only lets you wander because He knows that you will always come home, and when you do come home, you will feel a sense of comfort, love, and joy that you never would have felt before. But how do we know that we can go back? Something that you need to remember is that God will always, let me repeat that, always, let you come back to Him. If you wander, He doesn't care, He will still be waiting for you with open arms anyway. So today, if you have found yourself wandering away from God, find your way home, God is waiting to welcome you.
