BACK TO GOD
“If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
Most children, throughout their lives, go back home after leaving for various reasons. Maybe to visit, maybe for temporary housing, etc. Generally, parents accept them as adults back into their homes.
We belong to God...He created mankind. So wouldn't it feel natural to be back with your parent/your creator? We were separated from Him because of sin.
Most people have heard of God but don't know Him. So, they make up their minds from pieces of information and half-truths to either accept or reject God. God says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
There is love, mercy, and grace inherent in the Word of God. So, we have to remind each other who we belong to, especially those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, Many individuals and families have forgotten about God, or only remember Him when they have a need.
Let's not forget the great things He has done and will do. Things we can share with believers and unbelievers. We have to go back to His morals, values, and principals and let them show in our walk and talk. We do that by seeking and applying the Word of God.■
