GOD WANTS US BACK!

 

GOD WANTS US BACK!

 

I was FORTUNATE=IN LIFE

I was born=into A LOVING FAMILY

And a father and mother

 

WHO STAYED TOGETHER=for 47 years

And who BELIEVED IN GOD=and love

I was BAPTIZED=on

My mom and dad’s=FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

And I had=TWO LOVING SISTERS=yet to come

 

BUT all people=in this world

ARE NOT THAT FORTUNATE=I guess

 That is=WHY so many people

Have TURNED=away from God

I guess that is=why we

HAVE so many transgressions=when

We TURN AWAY FROM GOD

GOD WANTS US BACK!

 

“As far as the EAST=is

FROM THE WEST=so far has he

Put our TRANSGRESSIONS=from us”                                                                                           Psalm 103:12

 

God is=OUR STARTING POINT=in life

He should be=OUR ENDING POINT TOO!

 

So many of us=GET LOST

On the WRONG ROAD=In this life

That is OK=get it=out of your system

And=RETURN TO GOD

 

Take the road=back to God

GOD WANTS YOU BACK!

 

“Enter through=the narrow gate=

For wide is the gate=and broad

IS THE ROAD=that lead to destruction

And many enter=through it”                                                                                          Matthew 3:13

 

NO MATTER=how far=we

DRIFT AWAY=from God=No matter how far

We go in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION=of God

Return to God

 

He ALWAYS wants us=to

Travel back towards him

God’s love=God’s forgiveness=GOD’S COMPASSION

Is waiting for us=WHEN we return to God

Our God=wants us to RETURN to him

GOD WANTS US BACK!

 

Dear Lord=HELP US=to know

That you are=THE TRUE WAY

In this upside-down world=to

RETURN TO GOD

GOD WANTS US BACK!=He

Wants us back

 

“But the servant replied’=

‘Look in this town=there

Is a man of God=he is

 

Highly respected=and everything he says

COMES TRUE

 

Let us go there now=Perhaps

He will tell us=What to take’”                                                                                                   1 Samuel 9:6

 

“The angel said to me’=

‘These words are trustworthy=and TRUE

The Lord=the God=who inspires the prophets

Sent his angels=to show his servants

The things=that soon must take place’”                                                                                 Revelation 22:6

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY=

You are the STARTING POINT

In this life=when we STRAY

 

Help us t=FIND OUR WAY

Back to you=for you are

The ONE TRUE GOD=who loves us

Who always wants us

GOD WANTS US BACK!

Return to the Lord!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LIVING=FOREVER LOVING=Holy Father God!
