There is an interesting story in Luke chapter two about when Mary and Joseph took Jesus to Jerusalem for the Passover when he was twelve years old. After the festival, they left to go home supposing Jesus was with them. (I wonder how often we suppose God is with us when we wander off to do our own thing?
Now here is the interesting part. Mary and Joseph had traveled a day's journey before they realized Jesus wasn't with them and it took three days to find Him. Three days! The message for us is "It is easier to lose that special presence of God than it is to get it back once we've lost it." - Joyce Meyer
