He'll be waiting for you.



Hosea 3:4–5

For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods. Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.

The Israelites chased after everything but God. But no matter how far away they walked, God was ready to welcome them back in his mercy.

Do you ever feel like that distance between you and God is too much? That you've walked too far away?

He can't wait for you to return to him, confess, and hear his promises.

He's waiting with open arms.

What keeps you from turning back to God when you know he’s waiting?

2 Cor. 2:10–11 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. Read the context If you can't make an important meeting, you might send a proxy — someone to speak for you. Forgiveness is never “just between you and them.” Every time you forgive, you step into a sacred role—you speak as Christ Himself. You aren’t just...

Luke 15:8–10 Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Read the context When I worked at a bank, a man once brought in the wallet he had lost in a field five...
