Made for God
This section explores themes and experiences in our life which lead us to seek God
3. Afraid
‘Come back to me with all your heart.
Don’t let fear keep us apart.’
We were created for loving union with God:
God, who is our merciful and tender Father.
He longs for us to return to Him.
He will help you to demolish every barrier
that stands between you and Him.
Whatever wrong you have done,
whatever trouble you are in,
whatever harm you have done to others or yourself,
whatever sin you have committed,
His love for you is greater than all these things.
We cannot change the past.
We feel unable to change our lives.
But what is impossible for us is possible for Almighty God.
He can enter our present and create for us a future
more wonderful than we can even imagine.
God asks us to turn to Him in trust.
Trust in His mercy.
Accept the truth of your own sin.
Accept the free gift of forgiveness.
Set off once more on the journey towards God,
and keep going, ever deeper into His love.
Step by step, day by day.
Never giving up, no matter how many times you fall
or how far from His path you stray.
Never doubting His limitless desire to forgive,
or His absolute commitment to bring you
to your heavenly home with Him.
