Regret, Leading to Repentance


Listen Later

Luke 15, verses 17 through 19

Ezekiel 18, verse 28

1 Samuel 7, verses 3 and 4

Many of us have known God most of our lives, having accepted Christ at an early age - only to make choices that lead us away from God, into a spiritual wasteland where we flounder from one potential solution to another.We may follow the path of drugs and alcohol, sex and the party life. We may get sick of these things and start meditating or following some New Age path. We may be attracted to this teacher or that teacher, bouncing from one shiny object to another, year after year after year.

Truth is, even though we’ve turned our back on God, and are now working against God (whether we know it or not) - God continues to work within us through the Holy Spirit. We have chosen the hard way, so we go through much more heartbreak and trauma than if we’d just been able to humbly surrender in the first place. But it is through the trauma and heartbreak that God has prepared us for a homecoming.

No matter what choices we’ve made, no matter how deep into the mud we have descended, the Father is ready and happy to welcome us Home.
