Sometimes it’s perfectly okay to be alone and step back. Do you ever feel like your falling downhill fast? Like life is spinning out of control? I do. I tend to withdraw when things get tough. I tend to desire to walk away from things.
Walking away from life though is not the same as stepping back and waiting on the Lord. It’s not the same when we chose to close ourselves off in order to stop the pain. Walking away implies a turning around and going the opposite direction.
Have you ever started on a walk and it seemed pretty and beautiful and amazing, yet when you walked farther all of the sudden the place changed. Maybe you think the grass is greener? Or that you need to walk this path alone? Perhaps it’s not the walk that changed. Perhaps it’s you.
Stepping back sometimes gives you fresh perspective. Gives you a chance to regroup and line up your life again. To move forward with confidence that your hope does lie in Christ and in Him you have peace. It reminds you of where you came from, and where your going.
When you step back though, don’t forget whom you serve. Don’t forget that the journey doesn’t stall. That He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Him.
