Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. -Acts 3:19
A month ago, I was in Virginia at my best friend's house. I had gone to do two things: 1) To spend time with Jesus, driving, at the prayer house, and alone at Katie's. 2) To spend time with my best friend.
I had lost a lot of passion for living and was just dry. I had read Acts 3:19 in my devotions a few days before I left, and I was like, "Lord, show me what it truly means to be refreshed in You." Well, it started out with me repenting of a lot...realizing that many of the ways I had been acting weren't pleasing to the Lord at all. But after that, I just felt this overwhelming sense of God's love and peace just washing over me. And I can say that while having to deal with things before the Lord wasn't exactly easy, He was so faithful to come and forgive and to totally refresh me and stir up things in my soul again.
Maybe you're reading this and going through a really rough time. Maybe you're frustrated, or maybe you've become numb. Or maybe things are going well. But my prayer for you is that you will meet with Jesus and that you will be refreshed by Him. He is so good and so faithful!
