Years later, John the Baptist started preaching in the desert of Judea. He said, “Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here.” ~ Matthew 3:1–2 (CEV)
Lord, your message does not ever seem to change. You want us to stop doing things that are not a part of your way, and to return to you and doing things your way. It's pretty amazing that you keep wanting us back when we are so prone to forget you and your ways. I'm sorry that I am among the unfaithful. I'm turning to you and am grateful for your unceasing invitation. Thank you for your kindness. I'm going to let that kindness change me. Amen.
