PRONE TO WANDER

It is said that Robert Robinson, writer of "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" was "prone to wander." Who better to write this song with the words,

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; Lord, take and seal it;
Seal it for Thy courts above.

...you were marked in him with a seal,
the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit
guaranteeing our inheritance until the
redemption of those who are God's possession--
to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14.

We're all prone to wander. I'm glad we who are God's possession have the promised seal of the Holy Spirit.
I did not find an appropriate picture for this one, though I'm sure I could have found some tie to my five grandchildren. Surely not prone to wander!
Please feel free to comment on these posts. Maybe we can get some interaction going .
