Backsliding?

Were you walking with God and have now backslid? Are you finding yourself back into old habits? Perhaps you are feeling God could not possibly take you back now. Perhaps it seems to you that because you already knew Him and have gone back to your old ways, fallen into the old traps of temptations, that God would not, nor could not, have mercy on you. This is a lie! Another fabrication the devil is using to try to keep you away from your glorious Savior's embrace! Do not believe it!! Our God is merciful and compassionate without weariness.

James 5:11e The Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

Turn back to the Lord. Do not let your fears, lies the devil has told you, from seeking Him again.

Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his though, let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

God never breaks His promises. He is holy and just, compassionate and merciful. Come back. I urge you to run back and fling yourself upon Him. Earnestly repent and He will deliver you. He has seen all and knows your heart. Nothing you bring to Him is a surprise to Him. He is simply waiting for your return. Waiting with arms wide open. Be restored, Beloved. Drink deep of the Living Waters and be renewed. Healing and comfort are but a breath away. Call to Him and He is there.

Isaiah 57:14-19 And one shall say, "Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, take the stumbling block out of the way of My people." For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would fail before Me, and the souls which I have made. For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," says the Lord, "and I will heal him."
