Abigail and Clark were high school sweethearts who had plans to get married. Abigail was not as popular as her boyfriend, Clark. She wanted to wait until marriage before having children and was still a virgin. Clark on the other hand, was a scholar but was popular and loved to party. After graduating high school, the two attended college. After completing two years of college, Abigail began to have second thoughts about the course of their relationship. Since graduating high school, Abigail began doing all of the things she promised herself she wouldn't. She started drinking, smoking and partying. Above all else, she'd lost the one thing that she valued the most—her virginity. She knew Clark was not the one she wanted or needed to spend the rest of her life with. He had changed since they left high school. He partied in high school, but never like this. She no longer knew the man that she once fell in love with. Abigail had enough of all the alcohol, partying and smoking. She wanted out of the sorority lifestyle she was in. This wasn't her and she didn't like the person she'd become. What could she do? She had sabotaged her relationship with the one person that knew everything about her. She hadn't talked to Him in what seemed like decades. He was the One she shared her deepest and innermost secrets with. Their relationship fell apart after she and Clark hooked up. She no longer had time for Him. It was too late for their friendship. There was no way He would let her just mosey on back into His life. Honestly, who would blame Him? Here she is, after all of these years, desiring another chance at their friendship. The whole thought was just ludicrous! The years of being separated from her best friend began to weigh in heavy on her and she became deeply depressed. She didn't know where He was or how to find Him. She decided to attend her home church before returning back to school. The atmosphere had a relaxing and refreshing feel to it; Just what she needed.

| “I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5) |
As the pastor taught his sermon, great joy overtook her and she began to cry. What was happening? Her heart was beating faster and faster and she felt joy that she'd never experienced before. As tears streamed down her face, she looked over to her right side. There He was sitting there beside her. Realizing who it was, she tried to stand but fell to her knees because they had become weak. As He lifts her up, she whispers, "I've been looking for you. I have missed you terribly. I am sorry for the way I've treated you. I realize that you were the one all the time." Smiling at her, He replies, "I never left, you did. I've been here all the time waiting for you to come back!"
We all have done things that we regret, however, never allow that to stop you from completing the journey God has set before you. This story depicts the undying and unyielding love that Christ has for us.We are His bride, whom He gave His life for. We spend so much of our lives connected to the wrong people, with the wrong mindsets, and wrapped up in how we feel. We need to get a divine revelation of Christ's love for us. This revelation will change your life. Come back to your first love. Let the world know that you have filed for a divorce, because your true love awaits you!
