Have you ever been lost? Maybe you wandered away from your parents or maybe you simply didn’t know where they were and you looked and looked for them. I was lost twice when I was six years old. I thought my parents told me to meet them in one place and when I went there, they weren’t there. So I went to another place, and they weren’t there either. I kept running back and forth, not realizing they were also going back and forth looking for me.
My mother taught me that if you are lost, stop. Stay in one place and let your parents find you. It was a hard lesson for me to learn but after getting lost twice, I finally learned it. If you are lost, stop. Stay where you are until your parents find you.
The same lesson is true with God. Sometimes we get lost from God. We aren’t sure where He is. We only know He isn’t right there next to us. He really is always with us, but we start running back and forth, not realizing that He is still there. When we stop, He will find us. When you feel lost and wonder where God is, stop. He will find you. He will remind you He was there all along and you can never truly lose God.
