Bible Answer: Psalms 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Dear blue.eyes, I imagine there are many who feel, at one time or another, that they have pulled away from that first love. I know I have. However, I have found comfort in the grace of God and knowing that being His, although at times I have seemed let go of Him, He has never and will never let go of me. And when I have turned from Him, He graciously returns me to Him because of the faith He has freely given me, Christ’s intercession as well as the abiding of the Spirit. Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. God has done so much for us and continues to do so even though we deserve none of it. In knowing that, it should place upon your heart the drive and determination and longing to be as close to Him as you can and to stay there. Micah 7:7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. “When I fall, and am in danger of being dashed in pieces by the fall, yet I shall arise, and recover myself again. I fall, but am not utterly cast down,” Psa_37:24. (3.) “When I sit in darkness, desolate and disconsolate, melancholy and perplexed, and not knowing what to do, nor which way to look for relief, yet then the Lord shall be a light to me, to comfort and revive me, to instruct and teach me, to direct and guide me, as a light to my eyes, a light to my feet, a light in a dark place.” – Matthew Henry 1John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. 2Thessalonoians 3:5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. “Confess that a kind reception of you by God must be of grace alone. Nothing but grace can open a door for our returning. Sinners cannot be received of the Lord on any other terms but those of mercy. We would not ask to be dealt with according to our merits; but we thank the Lord that he hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. As to our sins, we cannot answer him one of a thousand. The Lord must receive us graciously or reject us righteously. Are we not glad that sinners can be received in the name of grace, and find a welcome in the tender mercy of our God? Offer, then, this petition, "Receive us graciously." I am not content merely to talk to you about these gracious words; I want every soul here to use them in personal prayer. Oh, that the Lord would touch all lips by his grace, and lead them to say from the heart—"Lord, receive me, I return to thee. Take away all iniquity, and take me to thyself! Receive me as a subject of thy kingdom. Receive me of thy grace into thy home of love. Receive me into the family of thy redeemed on earth, and then receive me into thy mansion in heaven. 'Receive us graciously.” - C.H. Spurgeon http://www.biblebb.com/files/spurgeon/2192.htm Simply return to Him blue.eyes. Know His grace, react to His grace and live in His grace through faith in Christ. And referring to love, always keep this fact in mind, love is active: 1John 2:2 -5: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. Stand in His grace, WOS |
