When You Repent

God loves us too much to allow us to remain in our sin and alienation from Him. He will bring judgment upon us in increasing measure until we reject our sin and return to Him. God warned His people of the lengths He would go to purge them of their sin, centuries before He actually did it. He foretold that if they rejected Him, He would deliver them into captivity to their enemies. He would even allow them to be removed from the land He had graciously given to them earlier. Sure enough, a time came come when God resorted to such drastic measures.

Yet even as God increased the severity of His judgment, He was always prepared to forgive and to restore His fallen people. God did not promise to remove the consequences of their sin, but He did assure them He would forgive them of their rebellion.

You may feel like today your life is in a distant land, far removed from where God intended for you to be. Your first priority is not to get your life back into the activities you ought to be doing, but into the relationship with God you are missing. In due time, God will re-order your life, but He always begins with your relationship with Him. He will go to any length to assure you are walking closely with Him. He will remove anything from your life that hinders your walk with Him.
