When God Ran... Part 2

Brothers and sisters, God's love for us is never changing. He loved us when we were still sinners, He loved us when we were saved, and He still loved us when we sinned against Him, turning our back on Him. The story of the prodigal son showed us the heart of God. When we realise that we have broken God's heart, when we decide to turn back to Him, when we begin to ask for His forgiveness, do you know what God will do? He will run to you, take you in His arms, hold your head to his chest and say, "My son's come home again!" He will lift your face, wipe the tears from your eyes, and with forgiveness in His voice He will say, "Son, do you know I still love you?"

That's how great the Father's love for us is! Not only that, while you still have your old clothes (sin) on, He will cover you with the best robe, which is the blood of Jesus! He will cleanse you! And the ring, which signifies authority, He will put it on you because you are still His son!

Decide today to turn back to God, because He is still waiting for you. Do you know that the only one, and I really mean the only one, who can make God run, is you? Can you believe it? God loves you so much that He is willing to run to you to embrace you the moment you decide to turn back to Him! So, what are you waiting for?
