In Between Sleeping and Waking

I was watching the movie “Hook” today (I am a huge fan of J.M. Barrie’s “Peter and Wendy”). The scene where one of the lost boys examined Peter’s face to see if he was really Peter reminded me of how I sometimes forget who I am in Christ. I get caught up in different things and the big fat lies the enemy keeps on planting in my head, and so I feel lost and far away from Jesus. Eventually, I get tired and I start looking for Him again. But as it turns out, He has been beside me all along. I feel His hands wiping the dust off of my face and then he says, just like the lost boy to Peter, “There you are!”
