Running Back To You

Running... I don't know about you but I don't run just for fun. Outside of exercising, the only time I run is when I'm in a hurry. It's a time when I need something immediately. Yes walking will get me there. However, if I'm running its urgent. It's a right now issue. Can't wait until later. Five minutes late could cause a flight to be missed.

When I hear Lowell Pye - Running Back to You (song of the week posted yesterday) that's what I think about. Running back to God because I can't wait another minute. It's urgent that I get to Him. The situations and circumstances that I'm facing I know I can't handle on my own. Therefore I have to run to safety. Safety being to Jesus. Understanding that I can't go another week, day, hour or minute without any help or hope. So I'm running... running... running...

Understanding that I left God. I doubted God... Turned my back on God... Disobeyed God's word and it was all by choice. Yet now I'm running. Running because I know He can save me. He can forgive me. He can help me. He can lead me. So I'm running... Running to His arms opened wide. Embracing me. With all my faults He still loves me. With my dirty hands & feet He will hold me. He will cleanse me. He will give me a new name. Child of the Most High King sounds correct. Daughter...Son...Friend.... I hear Him calling me. So I'm running.

Running because I can't make it on my own. I've tried it and even with success I'm still nothing without God. I'm empty. My hardships are unbearable without God. My future is dark without God. So I'm running... Living a life by the world's standards was fun but then then the light turned on. I'm digging my own way to hell. So I'm running because I want to be right. I want to be made whole. I want to live a life pleasing to God's sight. So I'm running because without His love, grace, mercy, favor & forgiveness I won't make it. Can't you see this is urgent... It can't wait... My life depends on this. If I wait to long my chance could be gone... so I'm running... I'm running.... I'm running... Lord I'm running back to you...
