Turn
Return to the one whom you have deeply betrayed! ~ Isaiah 51:6 (CEB)
Look! I’m standing at the door and knocking. ~ Revelation 3:20 (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
Even though we have treated God wrong he is still eager to have a relationship with us.
PRAYER:
Lord, you are amazing. Even though we have betrayed you and sinned against you... Even though we have treated you wrong in all our thoughts, words, and deeds... You still want to be with us. Help me to turn more fully to you because up to this piont my responses to you have been half-hearted. I am eager to start enjoying your invitation for fellowship. Amen.
