Returning to the cross

"I fled Him down the nights and down the days. I fled him down the arches of the years. I fled him down the labyrinthine ways of my own mind ..."
"As the deer pants for the waterbrooks, so pants my soul after thee O God. My soul thirsts for God for the Living God!"

How can both of these be true at the same time? How can I be both running after God and running from Him simultaneously? Even in high school I chose these two quotes as the quotes that most described my life. And now here I find myself in my 60's and still running from Him and to Him. This blog epitimizes this as it has been many months since I promised myself to write regularly and failed to do so. By His grace I will begin again to follow after Him and cease to run from Him.

Lord, may You catch me again and hold me close to your cross!
