Therefore, the LORD proclaims:
If you return to me, I will take you back...

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Invite God into your life by living according to his word.
PRAYER
Loving God, you welcome wayward people into your presence. You even come to live with them. That is such an honor. I confess that my response to your hospitality isn't always stellar. My turning to you is slow, sporadic, and partial. Show me again what I need to change so that I'm fully experiencing your love and presence. With your help, I'm going to make the necessary changes. Amen.
