† Catch Me if You Can † But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. Jonah 1:3 ESV It was late one Saturday afternoon when a friend stopped by and invited me to go to church with him the following morning. I had no interest in that. The thought of getting dressed up in a suit and pretending to be someone else on Sunday like them, did not appeal to me. Besides, I knew some of the people there, and during the week they were often worse than me, even the friend that invited me. Why pretend? I ran from God, or evaded Him for years, or so I thought. In time He caught me. One night while playing music at a party, I met the Lord and suddenly my whole life changed. My friends no longer knew me. It turns out that you don’t have to wear a suit, you don’t have to pretend to be someone else. It is not a Sunday thing. God so loved us that He gave His only Son to save us, just as we are. Sure you should live a life that reflects God, but you don’t start out like that. That comes in time. You can run, but you can’t hide. God is seeking a personal relationship with you Monday through Sunday. -I am blessed that the Lord never gives up on me!-
