Calling All Backsliders!

"For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out"
(Ezekiel 34:11)

"The Lord repeats this process when any of His flock stray from the
pastures of truth and holiness. They may fall into gross error, sad sin,
and grievous hardness; but yet the Lord , who has become a surety for
them to His Father, will not suffer one of them to go so far as to
perish . He will by providence and grace pursue them into foreign lands,
into abodes of poverty, into dens of obscurity, into depths of despair;
He will not lose one of all that the Father has given Him . It is a point
of honor with Jesus to seek and to save all the flock, without a single
exception. What a promise to plead, if at this hour I am compelled to
cry, "I have gone astray like a lost sheep!""
C.H. Spurgeon


Thank you Father for being so persistent with me and
reconciling me to you with GRACE!

Praise God!

Lydia Hart wrote a really great short devotional on this topic, called Tea Time with God.

It's all about renewing your relationship with God after you've "backslidden."

I don't know if it is still in print, but I've never found a better devotional on the topic.

I has many Bible passages on the topic of returning to God.

It was an important catalyst to renewing my relationship with God a few years ago after a series of major disappointments.
