It breaks my heart every time I hear someone conclude that they feel as though they have messed-up so badly that Jesus could never forgive them. Psalm 103:3 says, “He forgives all your sins”! There are no exceptions! Jesus will never turn away a truly repentant heart. Psalm 103:4 goes on to say that Jesus “redeems your life from the pit.” It doesn’t matter how far you have fallen! Too often people believe that they have to “get their life straight” before they can turn to Jesus. The reality is He loves you just as you are! He will give you the strength to get your life in order. He just wants you to come home!
I’d like to share with you the lyrics of a song that I love to sing, especially when the Lord places it on my heart that there is someone in the audience who is ready to hear it.
HE WILL LOVE YOU
*Adapted from the lyrics of Cherry Keaggy & Charlie Peacock
Is your heart empty; no hope or clue?
Listen to me brother, what I’m sayin’ to you
Jesus is Savior and He is a friend
And He’ll never forsake you. He’ll be there ‘til the end
And He will love you so completely
And He will heal you every wound and scar
He will receive you just for the askin’, Uh-huh
He will love you just are you are
You say that you’ve fallen far, far away
You remember the Father but forgotten how to pray
There is forgiveness. No need to run
The Father is waiting. Won’t you go ahead and come?
And He will love you so completely
And He will heal you every wound and scar
He will receive you just for the askin’, Uh-huh
He will love you just are you are
Come on home. You have been away too long
Come one home to the place where you belong
Come on home. He won’t ask you where you’ve gone.
It won’t matter just as long as you come on home.
And He will love you so completely
And He will heal you every wound and scar
He will receive you just for the askin’, Uh-huh
He will love you just are you are
Won’t you go ahead and come?
Won’t you go ahead and come?
Won’t you go ahead and come?
My prayer is that you would find rest and peace in the assurance of His unconditional love! Just come home!
Whole-Heartedly,
Bonnie
