All tagged Fall

How many times have we almost slipped, or actually fallen in our faith? We are walking along thinking everything is going splendidly, and then whoops... our spiritual feet fly out from under us. It is so unexpected, so sudden, and often occurs without any forethought of impending danger; yet there we are, sitting on our backsides wondering how we got there, and suffering in our need for forgiveness.

Of whom, or what, in our life can we say “will be with me always” with any true assuredness? We live in a transient world that is in a constant state of coming and going. People are born, and then die; buildings are built and then decay and fall. Trees grow tall, only to fall and return to the ground where past leaves await them. Without God, and Jesus Christ, there is no eternal hope... no “always” in our lives.
