Robin’s Journey: Pursued and Awakened
“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. ”
Matthew 18:12-14

As I noted in the introduction to this season on the “Robin’s Journey” page, this season encompasses my entire life, but I didn’t understand this for a very long time. In the toggles below I recount seven specific experiences when I received life-changing guidance. The first two happened before God “awakened” me so I did not understand it was His Holy Spirit guiding me at the time. Three happened after I knew I was hearing from God. Click on each one to reveal the text.
It is with deep gratitude and joy that He has allowed me to I know that they all came from God as He was pursuing me!
Jesus has the ability to reveal things to His friends—that includes us when we receive Him—that we cannot know any other way. I believe I’ve witnessed this truth in the experiences shared above. God has spoken to me through His word and He has spoken to me through the people He has placed in my life. It is the Holy Spirit that guided me to listen to Him! (Link to Welcomed and Transforming)
“No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.”
John 15:15
