"Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding."
"Yes, we will come to you, for you are the LORD our God.
Jeremiah 3:22 (NIV)
What if you caught your wife cheating—not with just one man but with several? Can you imagine such a thing? How do you think it would make you feel?
Would you take her back? Would you be able to forgive her? Tough questions!
God’s people were guilty of the most heinous of spiritual crimes: idolatry. They had forsaken the Lord and run off chasing false gods. They had committed spiritual adultery—countless times! And they were not just unfaithful, but they were shameless about it. They worshipped their false gods with reckless abandon.
But God calls His people back to Himself. He says, “Come back to Me and I will forgive you.”
What amazing love is this!
No matter what you’ve done… no matter how far you’ve wandered away… no matter how deep into sin and rebellion you have gone… no matter how grossly you have stained your testimony…. and no matter how long you have stayed away—God wants you back! He is ready to forgive you and cleanse you and cover you with His grace.
No… there is no argument! It does not matter what it is—He is waiting with arms open wide.
What are you waiting for?
He loves you!
