Healing

I truly believe that while I was in the midst of my sin it caused for me a great barrier to intimacy with God.  I think that is a lot of the reason why I felt so dry and empty for so long.  Now, though, the wounds of sin are beginning to heal and with that I am once again beginning to feel the presence of God.

I don’t believe that God ever left me, even in the midst of my sin.  No, He is the One who is perfectly faithful.  Instead it was simply my sin that was causing me to because numb and non responsive to His voice.  Now I feel like His child and His servant again.  I feel peace again.

The temptation towards sin has not totally fled from me yet but God has been gracious enough to cause it to be weakened the past few days.  I am not naive enough to think that it will remain this easy forever but I do believe that God will not allow me to face any temptation that He Himself will not give me the grace to overcome.
