Sometimes in life we need to get back to the beginning, to the basics. As the above song says, “Do you remember that day, (That sunny day) When you first came my way I said no one could take your place.”
Do you remember that special day in your life? The day you fell in love? The day you were loved? The day you graduated? The day you wed? The day you made it to the top? Do you remember the day you hit rock-bottom? The day Jesus came into your life? Do you remember falling in love with Jesus? Remember telling Him those words: “I said no one could take your place?”
If you’re currently drifting or walking away from Him, He’s telling you to get right back to where you started from. As verse two says, “A love like ours (A love like ours) Can never fade away. You know it’s only just begun.”
God’s love for you is like Him; eternal! Nothing or no one can snatch you away! Read His message to you:
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword” (Romans 8:35)?
God wants you to make your way back to Him! Dance it if you have to! Read what He’s done for you!
“I have blotted out your transgressions, and, as a thick cloud, your sins; return to me; for I have redeemed you” (Isaiah 44:22 KJV).
Decades ago, we used to sing this verse as a chorus (corito) in Spanish: “Yo deshice como nube tus rebeliones, como niebla tus pecados, vuélvete a mi (2x) porque yo te redimí,” (3x).
Meaning? God wants us all to return to Him. He’s blotted out the penalties written against us. He’s paid the price for our sins. He wants us to remember the day we said YES to Him! Nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38, 39).
Eternity with Him has only just begun!
God Bless!
