Such a great and inspiring question! And it is sad to see so many feeling that that they have to leave the fellowship and camaraderie of their church and/or congregation to find peace. As such this question is not only one that calls upon the mind to draw from the well of wisdom, but one that reaches into the sacred soil of the soul—a seed of reminding more than question. And that seed of reminding (not reprimanding) you shared is quite telling. Why do we stay with Jesus? Is it truly because we have no one else to turn to? Or is it because we realize that while there are others to turn to, no one can truly understand and stand beside us as mercifully and compassionately as Him? The apostles knew this truth (John 6:68) and so will we know this truth as we turn to Him in all things, all times and all circumstances in our lives. And may I add one more truth…for some may question why He stays with us even when we stray or leave Him? For the same reason! There is no other you for Him to love and be with! Out of all possible combinations in creation, there is only one YOU! And because He loves you, He will never leave or forsake you…no matter what (Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrew 13:5). Thank you again for your inspired writings! Keep letting your light so shine!
Corey!! You're awesome. Thanks for responding, haha. I'm still trying to figure out threads, lol.
Yes, it can be harder to focus on what matters most when I lose focus on Christ—the living Christ who has never left my side. My prayer and hope is that our work can help others feel His love as well, even in small ways. 🙏🏼 Same goes to you - thank you, thank you for being here!!
