The One That Got Away

You have all heard the fish tales of the fish that grows with each telling, and the fight to bring land it was long and arduous.  Of course that was long before cell phones with video cameras and instant access to Facebook.  There is no longer any joy in telling a 'story' than can be instantly refuted.

Then there is always the story about that special someone who slipped through our grasp and was gone before we could explain that the horrible act we committed was not a true picture of who we really are.  But the skid marks they left as they pulled away told a different story.  Youth seems to be wasted upon the young.  But then, we were or are all young once.

We were the one who got away from some unfortunate soul   We saw them at their worst and suddenly, before they could whip out their litany of excuses and beg us to stay, we were gone.

There is only One who cannot lose someone under any circumstance and that is GOD HIMSELF.  Once we become HIS there is nothing nor no one who can rip us from HIS grasp.  HE will never leave us, nor forsake us.  HE simply will not, no can not let one get away

Shalom!  Pray for the PEACE of Jerusalem!
