Friday the 20th of February, 1:40 am and am lying on my bed. The lights are off, my roommate is not yet back, most likely he won't be coming till morning. Its one of those terrible nights when you can't get a pinch of sleep no matter what position you try. So to keep my mind occupied I start reflecting over mgy life. I recently broke up with my girlfriend, weeks later I lost my laptop which was my most expensive asset and oops I remember I currently have no money and its the beginning of a new semester. Everything in my life is just messy, moving too fast but in the wrong direction. Feels lyk my God has abandoned me.
But no, that's not really the case. I can't even tell the last time I went to church let alone the last time I made a prayer. Have flirted with every girl that cared to listen to me. I feel have completely allienated myself from God. Thinking about God makes me realize how far have pushed Him from my life and I realize that's where have been going wrong.
I then close my eyes, and there I see Him sitted on the throne and on His right hand stands the son, the place feels so holy that am even ashamed to speak. But some force from nowhere, may be that was the holy spirit, pushes me and I find myself speaking. I thank Him for His Faithfulness even when I am unfaithful. I thank Him for the gift of life and health and for His unending love. I confess how my life has been messy without His control and I repent for not trusting in Him. Then I run out of words, as am trying to get what to say next the son comes nearer and the father stands up and as they hug me and welcome me back to the family, sweet melodies are heard and wooow, a choir of angels singing and rejoicing. This gives me the best feeling ever in my life and decide to always remain in His presence. The next thing I know its 7.20am and am getting out of my bed and I feel so different. I look up into heavens and Thank Him for changing my life.
