Losing Faith? :(

It is more common than we'd like to believe that sometimes even whom we perceive to be the most "holiest" among us lose faith. Consider for a moment; Mary and Joseph had lost JESUS. They literally possessed FAITH and lost Jesus. They were returning from Jerusalem, and after some time realized "where's Jesus". Some may say, how coudld somebody "misplace" JESUS, especially Mary because she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that He was "THE" gift from God and God himself as told to her by an angel of the Lord.

First let me say, I've done this. I lost Andrew. He was still "car seat age". Our family a group of 8 or more all went to the movies...we used the town mall "valet parking" and as my wife and family members emptied out of the van, I assumed my wife had Andrew, I turned the keys over to the valet and as we waited for the rest of the group I realized I left andrew in the car with the valet attendent (no tip for them not realizing a baby was in the car).

Anyway... if Mary could lose the king of kings and Lord of Lords, no doubt we could also lose heart sometimes. What Mary and Joseph did to locate Jesus was went back to Jerusalem and found him in the temple, and Jesus said to them, "don't you know that I must be about my fathers business".

What we need to do is simply go back to church, and begin again to be about our father's business... Now going back to church doesn't necessarily mean "the building". Frankly speaking some of us are in "the church building" so much they'd name the building after us, but have "neglected" the word of God... Some may even be in the "word of God" a lot but may have neglected the fellowship with God. What ever it is for you, simply retrace your steps and get back into church.
