Perhaps God allows us to stray from Him so that we learn the pain of trying to live without Him.
God never leaves us.
When we experience enough self-inflicted pain, we almost always turn to God.
Sometimes we ask God why we are being punished. Sometimes we ask God to save us.
Do we ever ask God why He saved us when He does, or do we just assume that’s how life should be?
God wants us to seek Him always. Unfortunately we only change at the “speed of pain”.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
