Most people only want God in their lives as long as he "stays out of their hair"...but there WILL come a time in every man and womans life where they will long for Him to be the shepherd of their souls and the leader of their lives. They will come to realize they are nothing and He is everything. That all the time they were away, they had given up on their best friend, but he had never given up on them...and their hearts will break and rejoice simultaneously.
