From time to time due to various reasons known to an individual, we kick people out of our lives. These are individuals that may be we don't need in our lives. Remember that I said, may be. Why may be? Because mistakes have always been made. How do you mean?

1.Spouses have kicked their once loved ones only to bitterly regret later 
2.Grown up children have denied, forsook or humiliated their parents due to their new found parents in law or lover only to regret later. Then its for ever too late. During the good times, they destroyed all necessary bridges. Now, they have to face consequences
3.People have quit their jobs, spoke so ill of their former employer and vowed never to come back. However when reality sunk, they wanted to go back only to find out that their damage was beyond repair

What is interesting to note is that that is the same way that man has dealt with God. When on earth, "  Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him." (Matthew 4:23-25)

After such wonderful miracles, there were times when they begged Him to depart away from their territory. Here is such one time, " Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.(Matthew 8:34)

Don't we do the same thing all the time? For how long shall we chase Jesus from our lives?
