I've been feeling 'off' in my Christian walk for a while. Its been getting gradually worse. Some call it a 'wilderness' period?
Yesterday, I felt physically sick with it.
I'd had too much caffeine, don't think that helped, but I didn't sleep at all last night.
Once i'd stopped doing d.i.y. jobs in my head, (four hours later!) I started praying.
For church members, housegroup, family then, of course, myself. I remembered Jesus words 'I haven't come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance' and I started repenting, for my past mostly. I started thinking about the people in Jeremiah's day, who repented, but their repentance wasn't genuine. Which is why they still went into captivity.
God knows the heart.
I have been sorry before, but maybe it wasn't genuine.
Anyway, I eventually got out of bed, and I've been so full of energy all day, after no sleep! I mean, caffeine's good, but it's not that good.
I feel that the wilderness has gone.
Hope this helps someone, to wait ..it will pass.
His mercy endures forever
