It’s Never Too Late…

Did you know that God is always with us?

Did you know he is with you even when you don’t sense it, realize it, or at particular moments even want him to be?

Did you know that God never stops loving us?

Did you know that even when we turn our backs on him, hide from him out of shame, walk a side path or two, backslide, and even get lost amongst the hustle and bustle of life? He is always there, waiting, hoping we will turn back to Him!

Did you know it’s never too late?

How do I know that? Because I have done all of the above at different times of my life! But, two years ago, I started my blog called Sunshine and everything was going great! I thought I had finally found my calling for the Lord while my time here on earth.

And, as typical of life, just about the time I thought I had it all figured out, some changes came along in my home and world. My routine and time frames were changed, and along with that, Satan got his hooks in my ears and head that no one reads your blog anyway; you are just wasting your time. Time, I suddenly didn’t seem to have much of!

I have been wandering, stumbling, praying, and growing this past year. I still have the same prayer, “Father, I miss Sunshine and the special connection it gave us; please take the desire to write away if it’s not to be.”

Then a few mornings ago, as I was praying, my whiney little prayer the Holy Spirit placed on my heart that I hadn’t been asking for the same blessing I used to ask for every morning. “Father God, who do you wish to speak to today, and what do you wish to say!”

Dawning! The past couple of mornings, I have had tidbits of a spiritual spark inside and could have written BUT inside me came the thought, “it’s too late; you will now look stupid writing after all this time; you’ve lost the few who read your words so just let it peacefully die.”

Those were lies and tricks from the evil one who roams our earth, filling it with dread and darkness! Because at the same time, in a much gentler voice, I heard, “it’s never too late.”

So, whether you have dropped the ball and want to pick it back up. You’ve made tremendous mistakes and are afraid. You are surrounded by darkness and don’t know what to do! Take hold of our Lord Jesus Christ’s hand and walk boldly into the darkness, for He is our Light.

It’s a simple prayer; “Lord, I am lost, afraid, I feel unworthy, I have believed the lies for too long, I am tired, I am wore out and I need your rest, strength and peace. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for walking beside me always, leading me down your path of quietness rather than the crowded path filled with the ugly noise of the world.”

Isaiah 41:10 ESV ~ “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Joel 2:12-13 ESV ~ “Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; he relents over disaster.

So, here you see! I did it…I ignored the lies of the evil one and held onto my Lords hand and this morning I accomplished something I have greatly missed. You can as well! It’s Never Too Late!!!

Welcome back to Sunshine! I have missed you and being here ❤️
