Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

- James 4:8

I have tasted and have seen the goodness of God.  And in my rebellion, I have also tasted and seen what this world has to offer.  And I have realized... this world really has nothing of true substance for me.  Nothing fully satisfies.  And in my rebellion, I have fallen to the lowest that I have ever been.  I have become the person whom I hate the most.  I am bitter, angry, cynical, judgmental, drunk, impatient, insecure, and alone.


But now it's time, time to stop believing in the lies of the world.  Time to cleanse my hands, time to purify my heart.  Time to pick myself up from the ground, wipe off the dirt from my face, from my clothes.  Time to start over in His grace.  Time to crawl again, then walk again, then run again.  Time to draw near to Him.


And I know the journey will be difficult, as it always is... but I think it's about time for the prodigal daughter to return home.
