Once again, as the Children of Israel found themselves suffering in exile away from their homeland, they cried out to God for help. You’d think God would eventually get tired of forgiving and rescuing His stubborn children. We would certainly understand if this time He had said “Enough is enough. If you think you can live life on your own without me, then you’re on your own. You’re in trouble? Deal with it.”
But this period in the story of God’s relationship with man shows us once again how in His amazing love God relentlessly pursues a relationship with us. Once again God reached out to His chosen people and rescued them. He gathered His exiled children and brought them home.
Today, I simply want to remind you how much God loves you. No matter what you’ve done. No matter how many times you’ve turned away from Him. He loves you. He cares. He will not give up on you. He forgives. He relentlessly pursues a relationship with you. He’s just waiting for you to reach out to Him.
Lamentations 3:22-23
The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
