We are told such a beautiful story that shows God's love for his people. At first we see that God's people turn away, but once they start to see there are consequences for their actions then they turn away from these behaviors. God sees their hearts have truly changed, so He changes his mind about destroying them, and instead dwells with them forever.
We all have come from a place in our lives that was not acceptable in God's eyes. It could be something as major as drug addiction or murder, or even as simple as having that extra slice of pizza or sleeping past noon. Nobody is born a Christian, but God still loves us so much. We need to stop and recognize the things in our life that are destroying us, the things that are keeping us from getting even just a little bit closer with God.
Is it really worth it to let something that you have control over separate you from God? There is so much that we are giving up not being with Him, but we have it stuck in our head that we have to give up so much in order to be with Him.
Maybe it is time to realize that we are giving up so much more by choosing to let these things separate us from Him.
God offers us the opportunity to be rescued from condemnation and at the same time He offers us a life with Him. He will reside with us. Forever. If we just let go of the things holding us back.
Let go. Run to Him.
