Let me tell you a little story.
There was once a little girl who had a tree in the forest. She often went there to just sit under its shadow and enjoy the fresh air. She would do her homework there and she often fell asleep there. Thankfully for her there were no wild animals there.
One day it happened that her parents bought her toys. Its an amazing thing right? Well lets wait and see.
She started playing with her toys and went to the tree once a week. It initially looked okay because what matters is that she went to the tree ( according to her). The less she went to her tree , the less she grew fond of it and the more she found it burdening for her to even go to the forest. She started dragging her feet whenever she had to go there and that day finally came, when she stopped going to the forest.
Everything seemed okay and she was getting more and more toys. Like sand through the hour glass, time kept ticking and the seasons embraced this change.
More trees grew and the place now looked like a bush. There was just no way one would tell which tree was the one that the little girl loved.
One afternoon in summer she sat in her room and was feeling really hot. She felt so overwhelmed and started missing her tree. She cried everyday and felt like the tree had abandoned her but how can something that is STILL abandon you?
She asked herself questions and had no one to blame. That little destruction she got eventually pulled her away from something she held dear to her heart.
One beautiful morning, she went on a journey to the forest , initially she got lost until she saw this very HUGE tree, it was GREATER than them all and with its leaves it drew her closer and right there, she knew that is the tree she had always cherished.
See where i am going?
In life we often move away from God and we somehow don't see it because we will be so distracted and enjoying whatever is distracting us. Although that alarm within rings, we somehow ignore it until we feel overwhelmed, miserable, lonely and direction less. We then start asking ourselves questions and even accuse God of leaving us. Truth is, God never moved. He is a constant God. He is consistent and the same yesterday, today and forever.The problem here is not Gods presence but its us moving away from His presence. Like the little girl, we get so distracted that the very God we held dear to our heart is the very God we feel burdened to pray to, worship and even talk to.When we remain IN God, we allow ourselves to be fully immersed in His presence that wherever we go, We allow Him to lead us. The one voice we should never shut out is the voice of God.
Today decide to do what is right and rekindle that relationship you had/have with God.If your emotions are telling you that you are beyond reappears, walk away from them and do what is right, they (the emotions) will catch up later and by that time, you will be way ahead.
God is right where you left Him and all He requires is for you to go back to His heart. God loves you and I and may we get to realize how loved we are by Him.
