The meeting today had a topic from The Dieter's Prayer Book, page 46. It said:
"When you fail, run for God, not from Him."
I ran from God so many times thinking that He was going to strike me down for things that I had done or mistakes that I had made. I always thought that God would be so disappointed in me and I was completely ashamed of myself and my actions. Of course, I continued to repeat these actions and didn't ask for help or even really try to change them. I always just left it at the thought that God would never forgive me for past mistakes so why bother trying to please Him now?
I never realized that He could and would be there for me no matter what. All I had to do was ask Him. There is no making an appointment with God. He is readily available and at my disposal 24/7. Today, no matter what silly thing I do I know that I can run to Him to forgive me and to show me the way to change for the better and not allow that mistake or failure to happen again.
