There have been seasons when I have heard your message God but was unable to apply it for the pull of sin in my life was too great. Those seeds were gobbled up and never planted for your glory. I am sorry. I have had seasons when I was filled with joy and passion on Sunday but by Tuesday I was operating on my own and NEXT Sunday seemed impossibly far away in a cruel world. Those seeds were squelched by adversity and never produced fruit. Good intent, bad results. I have had seasons when I heard the message, memorized the scripture, and tried to cling to it all week, but the fight was too great, and I gave in to the demands of the world. My priorities were off, I created a battle for myself and lost over and over. Those seeds were choked out by worries, demands, and ill placed priorities. An impractical battle I could never win. In this season I can see the past for what it was, and I recognize what it takes to grow my faith and be rooted in scripture. I want to keep my eyes on you Jesus and be in the flow of the Holy Spirit. I seek your kindness, grace, and mercy Lord, even when life does not go as planned. I want deep roots, and I am grateful for the seasons of growth that brought me here. May I never forget this journey and always look for ways to deepen my relationship with you. Eyes on the prize, evermore. Lamentations 3:22-23 says, Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Thank you, God, that you have abundant patience with me. Seriously, it is a miracle that you have never turned your back on me and always welcomed me home. Great is thy faithfulness! -Amen
