Return...

There was a girl. She went too far from God. She promised to stay, but the world seems to be louder than Him, and so she drifted away from His voice. As she went further, her soul became heavier and she was draining..inside and out. She tried to continue moving forward but the road got longer and longer, she couldn't see the finishing line. The wind knocked her to her knees, the right position to be. There and then she remembered the promise she made and she started to cry for help, knowing that she was wrong all this time. But then something hit her in her heart, opening her eyes, her mind, that the promises made in this world can't be compared to the promise He has for her.She realized that she missed that Voice and there was nothing else she could do but to listen. Right when she was needy and broken, she heard the voice, saying..

"Return to me with all your heart."

~Joel 2:12~

...and suddenly she felt a kind of strength building inside her and she knew where it came from. So, she got up and made her way back to where she began. In each step she made, she felt stronger and stronger that she didn't realize that she was actually running..leaving everything she once had behind.

From afar she saw a familiar figure, still standing there, waiting for her. He saw her too and He started running towards her with His arms open, ready to catch her. The road took away almost all the strength she had. But she saw Him smiling joyfully towards her and nothing could stop her until she finally returned to His arms because she knew, she is safe in His arms.
