There were many times in my life when I sought Yahweh, but I stilled grabbed ahold of the world. I went away from home to live comfortable in my sins. I fornicated, I once “lived” with a man that I was engaged to be married to. I partied, drank, smoked, and did the things that I wanted to do. The Bible says, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36 KJV). I gained everything materialistic, but my soul was drowning in the wickedness. I was living a life that Yahweh never intended for me to live. I was the cause of the major chaos that swept me off my feet. My poor decisions were an open door for the enemy to come in.
I didn’t hide the things that I done, but I allowed others to see who I really was. Well matter of fact, that wasn’t who I really was, but it was who I pretended to be. It was who I was for the moment. Yahweh called me numerous times, but I didn’t listen. I ignored him and continued into my own ways. Yahweh had another identify for me, but I took on a falsehood that was temporary.
Today as I am writing this, I can consider the old version of myself “The Prodigal Daughter”. I didn’t come back home until after a traumatic car accident. I came back home heartbroken, single “no longer engaged”. I came back home on a walker with a femur fracture, broken ribs, bruised spleen, stitches, etc. Thankfully I came back home ALIVE, and not dead! I thank Yahweh for His tender mercy!
During the season of my accident, I didn't like how I came back home because I didn't have the things "of the world" with me. Fast forward to now, I realized that season of my life was called "the process". I may not have understood it then, but now I do. It had to happen to get my attention. The Bible states, “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but Yahweh meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” (Genesis 50:20 KJV). It was necessary for me to go through that season because today I am living in the progress. I understand why Yahweh brought me back to my family ALIVE. He still has a purpose and plan for my life. Now I have a testimony that can bring prodigal sons and daughters to Yahweh!
When we get out of alignment, Yahweh has a way of getting us back. Some people don’t make it back alive.
