Perhaps you entered into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in the past, but for some reason you are not as close to Him as you once were. You may have even walked away from Him. You might now wonder if He would take you back or if you dare to ask for His help with your eating disorder. I was once in this situation myself. I walked away from God, but He took me back. My poem below describes this experience.
If you have walked away from God or if you are not feeling as close to Him as you would like, it does not have to stay that way. I want to assure you that, if in your heart you want to be close to Him again, He knows that. Talk to Him – tell Him how you feel and reconcile with Him. Remember that He has never stopped loving you. Perhaps you would like to read Luke 15:11-24 to encourage you to take that first step back to Him. You may also want to hear the song, When God Ran by Phillips, Craig and Dean.
When You Came Back to Me
I watched you walk away,
But tried to help you see
That I still loved you so.
You turned your back on Me.
I kept on trying, though;
Would not give up on you.
I hurt so much inside
And knew that you hurt, too.
In time, you closer came,
Could see it in your heart.
Had been so hard on you
For us to be apart.
I still recall the day
I heard you speak to Me.
I then spoke back to you.
This time you didn’t flee.
Was difficult for you
And I could sense your fear,
But I accepted you,
Just glad that you were near.
This was a tender time
And I just let you feel.
I kept on loving you
And gave you time to heal.
The special times we’ve had
No one can take away.
We have a stronger bond.
I feel you’ll always stay.
It took you time to trust,
To see Me as your friend.
And now I am so glad
To have you close again.
