Return and be restored

For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him (2 Chronicles 30:9). Repentance is a turning back to God once we've acknowledged our sin and feel remorse for it. That's what King Hezekiah was doing with the letter he sent to the people, encouraging them to come to the Passover feast in Jerusalem. He was pointing out where they strayed away from God, and showing them the way back. A soul that turns to the Lord in prayerful repentance can be set on a new path.

Jesus has invited us to His feast; He waits for us to prepare our hearts and to seek Him in these moments.
