God
knows when I am gone far or even just a little away from His heart.
He warns me that I am at that juncture torn from Him (like the cloth
on a Jewish Rabbi's clothing) (1Kings 11:8). He tells me in Isaiah
38:17 that I like Isreal have cast Him away from me, that even
though He proclaims His love for me, I have chosen not to return it.
And that happens whether I am directly in the darkness of sin or
feeling my self-righteous oats on those who are struggling with
whatever sins they have. (1 Cor 4:21) And in His mercy He warns me
that I have left Him, my first love, and that in His eyes is wrong.
(Rev 2:4) And what I do is to repay Him with thinking and saying he
doesn't really love me, as Samson's wife scolded Samson in Judges
14:16. And then I love the wrong people. (2 Samuel 19:6, Psalm 52:3)
And He knows I will run after the wrong things. (Hosea 2:7)
