Old friends meeting after years apart.
The long warm hug feels both new and familiarly old.
Time drops away in the re-connection.
The past relationship still holds.
Our relationship with Jesus sometimes gets shoved back,
But, when we return to Him, we find,
No matter the passage of time,
We’ve never been far from His heart or mind.
Re-connection is real and powerful,
For old friends and for Jesus Christ,
He’s ready when we come to him
To rebuild our bond, with hope, comfort, love and light.
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. –Jeremiah 31:3 (KJV)
