(Thought)
Can we go back in time?
Many times we all wish that we could turn back the hands of time. Many things have happened and changed since we were born, grew up and became an adult: Family households, jobs, technology, the economy and sometimes the compassion we have for others.
Many times when we come face to face with tragedies and troubled times our mind goes back to our childhood and we think, "I wish I was young again then my parents would handle the situation that I am in. This is not my battle, it is a battle for them."
Reminiscing is good in recollecting the older days during our youth, and telling stories to our children; but when it comes to facing challenges in real life reminiscing seems like a fairy tale, and so long ago.
God can take us back to the place where we first received him, the place where we first believed. We can not go back in age or time; but we can go back to Him, our first love.
Ecclesiastes 12:1-3
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them:
While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after rain:
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
***Remembering God because we are not our own-to Him we belong. Before we get older, remembering our days of sinful pleasure, and saying, "I do not enjoy them now."
Before our sight get dim or impaired, and our depression turn into tears;
In the day when our hand and arms will have no more strength; neither will our feet and knees, and the teeth will cease to grow.
We can not turn back the hands of time - but we can go back to the place, in our heart, to the time we first received Him.
Let's continue to receive Him into our hearts - so that He may increase and we may decrease.
Until we meet again- soon.
