As friends we experienced the presence of God together. We worshiped together, sang together, and even cried together. We embraced each other in Christian love and encouraged one another against the evil of the day. But, at a low point in their walk with God, the adversary came knocking.
I can’t fault my friends for falling because I’ve been in low places many times myself, only to find the devil making his rounds to my own hearts door. I know how difficult it can be to turn away from the call of the flesh and cry out to God for deliverance. How dark it feels to be alone and not have the spiritual energy to resist. My own memory, if it could be seen, would look like an intricate web of scars from the wounds I have inflicted upon myself. I understand the pain.
But, I have to hope that occasionally my friends reflect back on the times they spent in God’s great presence. I have to hope that they sometimes wonder if it would be possible to feel God again like thy used to feel Him. Do they sometimes wonder, “Does He still know me?” “Would He save me again?” “Would He hear me if I’d pray?” I have to hope they do.
The scripture says that, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 kjv) Do you still believe in Him? I mean, do you still BELIEVE in Him? He’ll hear you when you pray, he didn’t leave you, you left him. When you make up your mind to call out to Him, your going to find Him right where you left Him, waiting for you to return
