MY BIRTHDAY SPIRITUAL LIFE REFLECTION 2017

CAN I EMBRACE YOU AGAIN?

Sometimes in life, we almost forgot our relationship with our God. (If a moment comes that we always love to remember our encounter with God in the past JIOS conventions, conferences, family camp’s we had attended, that means we miss God.) Yes, every day we think about God but secretly in our hearts, we can’t deny the feeling that we fall out of love. But God was truly unique in heart. Though we lack many times in showing our love, care and affection to that relationship, He never give up on us. No cool off. No break ups. Only eternal love.

Let’s read the truth of our lives…

10 minutes prayer and then go to sleep. 5 minutes prayer and then go ahead to the daily tasks. Work demands, we strive for accomplishments. Family obligations, we strive for commitments. There’s so much more to think and to dream about for ourselves.

We struggle to budget our time for the Lord, for even our spare time also falls to “I, myself and me.” “God is gracious, kind and forgiving” we guessed. And sometimes we came to believe and it becomes a habitual belief, “He understands our shortcomings.”

One day, we decided to meet the Lord seriously. For it seems in the past, we didn’t take seriously every meet ups.

That day, it feels like you’re going to marry Him. Your heart beats so fast. Your excitement was overwhelming. Your tears keep falling on your cheeks down to the neck.

There from afar, I saw His servant the Man of God – Tatay Apostle. My emotion overshadows me. Until I saw myself falling on my knees. Crying and saying…
“Lord, I miss you. I really miss you. I miss your voice. I miss your presence.  I miss our relationship. I became careless.”

For a long period of time, we didn’t hear His voice. That moment, we heard His gentle and sweet voice again…

“I miss you too.
Can I embrace you again?”
