Turning

I forget it is the turning away that is birthed.

And the turning towards is learned.

I assume each one will follow.

Each will heed.

And am always surprised when they do not.

Do not love.

Do not worship.

Do not obey.

I can not fathom such deviation.

Yet do I not do the same?

Purposely turn. Away.

When will I learn?

“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way.” Isaiah 53:6.

All have twisted away from God.

Gone in a different direction.

Isn’t that why He came?

To free us from such movement? Away?
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
   He came and set His people free." Luke 1:68 Message
He came to free us from the endless twisting.
I fall to my knees once more.
Confessing. Admitting.
I am quick to turn. Away.
And I am in need. Of a Savior.
Born anew in my heart today.
"Today, in the city of David, a Savior is born..." Luke 2:11
I join the angels singing.
"Glory to God in the highest!" Luke 2:14
