I am overcome today with the person who is just coming to God. Just making those first decisions to point themselves toward God or to right their course. It’s a “first love” realization for me. How basic and childlike those first steps of faith are. And how much I complicate and over-analyze everything when it’s really as simple as saying “yes” to God and putting my hand in His and trusting.
Do I even remember what that was like to just be realizing God and His love for me? Do I even remember what it was like to experience pure joy at the thought that my Heavenly Father loves me unconditionally and more intensely than I could ever imagine?
These thoughts are near and dear to my heart today and I pray that God will come close today, reminding me of my first love.
