The door is still open
Maybe you grew up in church, walked away, and it’s been years. Maybe you think God has moved on without you. He hasn’t.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him” (Luke 15:20).
The father had been watching the road.
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
He is patient with you.
Jesus told about workers hired at the last hour of the day who received the full day’s pay (Matthew 20:1–16). A thief turned to Jesus in his final hours, and Jesus promised him paradise (Luke 23:43). As long as you have breath, it isn’t too late. And there’s no better time than now: “now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
We wrote a whole page for people finding their way back — you’re not starting over: Coming Home. And read the story Jesus told about it: The Father Who Ran.
Taking the first step home? We will pray for you by name.
