Wrote a popular book and claimed to be a
Follower of Jesus.
But now that he has renounced his marriage and
His faith, he's in the news.
Was he a believer at all?
I don't know.
But I do know that when I was in college I
Questioned my faith, even gave up on it for
Awhile.
But I had nothing to replace my trust in God.
I certainly had no confidence in myself.
I was woefully inadequate.
And if I was just a product of time and chance,
What purpose did I have?
I couldn't live without God for too long.
I was miserable.
So I came back, the prodigal returned home.
And after 50 plus years, now, I've learned how
Faithful my Father is.
Together we've survived the loss of two
Husbands, depression, trials of all kinds.
And in this divine Divine relationship I'm still
Growing and trusting and delighting in new
Discoveries about my unfathomable
Loving God.
I pray that the straying man will be
Miserable like I was and come
Back home.
