God Still Wants You

December 20, 2023

Do you feel like you’ve drifted from God? Do you wonder how he feels about you?

God wants you.

You may say, “You don’t understand. Isn’t God going to scold me? I’ve been away from him for months, years, decades.” Here’s what the Bible says God will do when you come back to him: “With deep love I will take you back” (Isaiah 54:7 GNT).

Here’s the truth: No one will ever love you more than the Creator who made you. God the Father created you, Jesus the Son died for you, and God’s

Spirit wants to live in you. Christmas is proof of God’s love for you. You have to decide whom you’re going to believe. Are you going to build your life on what everybody else thinks about you? Are you going to listen to what the critics say about you on social media? Are you going to listen to your own feelings?

Or are you going to listen to what God says about you, which is the truth?

Acts 3:19 says, “Now it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins [and] pour out showers of blessing to refresh you” (MSG).

You’re deeply flawed, but you are deeply loved, and you are infinitely valuable. You may have come to the end of yourself and feel like you don’t have anywhere to turn. But there is always Someone to turn to. It's not too late. You're not too far gone. With deep love, God will take you back. Just turn to him.
