II
Chron. 30:9 For if you return to the
LORD, your relatives and your children will be treated mercifully by their
captors, and they will be able to return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and
merciful. If you return to him, he will
not continue to turn his face from you.
“The
Lord is gracious and merciful; it you return to Him, He will not continue to
turn His face from you.” Dear friend, I
don’t know your heart today. I don’t
know if you have wandered away from the Lord or not. I do suspect that some who read this
have. If you have, I know that you are
not very happy today. You may think you
are and yet, deep down inside of you, you know you aren’t. No matter how hard you may try to convince
yourself that things are alright with you, you know better. You cannot be away from God and have peace in
your soul. You cannot sin against God
without it bothering you. The guilt and
shame of sinning plagues you because you know better; you know that it does not
please God and keeps Him away from you.
Listen
carefully to this word from the Lord; He is gracious and merciful. If you turn back to Him and repent of your
sins, He will not turn His face from you.
The Lord will welcome you back with open arms. He longs to once again embrace you and help
you. He will forgive you if you confess
your sins to Him and accept responsibility for them. He will wash your soul with the cleansing
blood of Christ shed for you at Calvary.
He will purify your stained soul and make it whiter than snow.
Dear
friend, won’t you do it right now? Won’t
you turn back to the Lord and let Him make you whole once again? Why put it off? Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow may never be for you. Aren’t you tired of listening to Satan’s
lies? Perhaps you are putting on a good
front. Perhaps you have others buffaloed
and they think all is well with your soul.
It is time for you to repent. It
is time for you to return to the Lord.
Do it now, while the Lord is speaking to your heart. He is waiting for you.
