God tries to take away our distractions when we lose sight if him. But He never takes away our choice.
It is the human condition to drown, the work of the Spirit to open our eyes to the water, the work if Christ to lift us out of the water, and the love of the Father that never gives up hope that we will soon reach for him.
It is also the human condition to be afraid. We fear the unknown. We fear hoping for more because the pain we live in daily is familiar. When I looked away from God, I bandaged my heart with cursing, self love, and a distrust of morals, instead of allowing him to heal my heart. He took away my pride. He took away what I could point to and say, I'm still a Christian. He removed from me everything I pursued that distracted me from him, and I cursed Him for not caring about me.
He is swift to forgive. In one breath I felt my heart healed and my spirit filled. A joy that I feared because I feared to lose it returned to me and He said He never left me and never would. Then, He gave me full confidence and joy. I was back to who I was, who I truly am.
