Restoration

Psalms 51:11-12 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. (12)  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free Spirit. (KJV)

A little over a year ago I was just going through the motions as a Christian. You see a long time ago I was called by God to preach His word. To serve Him full time in the ministry, and as I said last week I just quit one day. Well actually it didn't happen in just one day. It happened over a period of time. You see I let somethings get in my way and that allowed me get distracted. Then when I was least prepared to defend myself, and  when temptations came it was to late I was far from God.

So for the next 20 years I wandered in the wilderness of life like the children of Israel. I now find myself looking back at my life and seeing the same mistakes in my life. That the children of Israel made in theirs. I also see how David a man after God's own heart made several mistakes and yet here in Psalms 51 David seek restoration with God. While I did not seek restoration for the 20 years I've wasted, nor was God in my thoughts during this period of my life. Within this last year while I did seek God. for some strange reason I did not seek restoration. Although I did ask God to forgive me for my transgressions and I now seek God's will for my life. My quest was not for restoration, but God is slowly restoring me to my original calling. On February 13th I will be speaking in a Church. for the first time in over 22 years.

I am not saying I will be fully restored to the full time ministry. Although I have not ruled this out, and I have given my life back to Christ to be a willing to servant of God and do His will. I will seek to serve him whether it is doing the work I do at Elevate Church or speaking a message in a Church. or some type of Christain setting. I am seeking restoration of my soul 1st and my calling 2nd. So as for now my Journey is to follow Christ and His perfect will for me by Staring at Lines.
