God Is Waiting Earnestly for Us to Come to Him ㅡ

 “And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”

 (Luke 15:20)

 Arise and go to your Father.

He will meet you a great way off.

If you take even one step toward Him in repentance, He will hasten to enfold you in His arms of infinite love.

His ear is open to the cry of the contrite soul.

The very first reaching out of the heart after God is known to Him.

Never a prayer is offered, however faltering, never a tear is shed, however secret, never a sincere desire after God is cherished, however feeble, but the Spirit of God goes forth to meet it.

Even before the prayer is uttered or the yearning of the heart made known, grace from Christ goes forth to meet the grace that is working upon the human soul.
