Return to God

You can wander away from your relationship with God. Many have come from a family of faith in God only to wander away years later. As a matter of fact, you may attend church every Sunday and still wander away from God.

What could make you wander away from God? It could be the influence of others. It may be guilt and shame. Perhaps, it may be a personal crisis that caused you to doubt your faith. It is not uncommon for believers to wander away from God.

The good news is, God has mercy upon those who return to him. His love is forever true. His goodness has not changed. His mercy is offered to all who return. He forgives, restores, and rejoices over those who return. If you have wandered away, return to God.

Do you know someone who may have wandered far away? Remind him that God's love has not changed. Encourage that person about God's mercy which forgives. Don't give up. God can use you to help someone return to him.

"Let him return to the LORD,
and He will have mercy on him."
Isaiah 55:7
