Gone Too Far for GOD to Care?

Have you ever been at that place in your life where you felt you had gone too far for GOD to care about you any longer? Maybe you are feeling that right now? Maybe your life has taken a detour and the path you are following is far from the path GOD had chosen for you? You may even feel that there is no way GOD would ever receive you back as one of His own?

Many of us have been at that place in our spiritual lives at one time or another. We have allowed worldly ways to invade and take control of our lives. We have wandered far from the loving arms of our Heavenly Father and perhaps even begun to take part in some evil, ungodly practices. Maybe you feel like you’ve crossed that line in your life and there is no turning back? There is hope for you today!

The Spirit of GOD continues tugging at your heart. The Spirit is lovingly nudging you back to the place GOD wants you to be. If you don’t believe me, consider these words of Jesus: “What man among you, who has 100 sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the 99 in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it? When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders, and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep!” (Luke 15:4-6).

You may be that lost sheep today. You may have yourself convinced that GOD has so many others to care for; He doesn’t have time for a reckless sinner like you? The devil is speaking lies to you! Jesus is telling us that GOD cares enough to leave the others and go searching you out. He sends His Spirit to lovingly, gently nudge you back to His arms of compassion.

It doesn’t matter what sins you may have committed. It doesn’t matter how bad you may have become. “The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin“ (1 John 1:7). He wants to clean you up today! He wants to bring you back into His fold. He wants you back in relationship with Himself.

Jesus closed out that passage in Luke with these words: “I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don’t need repentance” (Luke 15:7).You think you have gone too far for GOD to care? Repent today and discover the heavens rejoicing over your return!
