I wish I were closer to Jesus. At times, I feel like He’s literally holding me. But at other times, I know there’s distance between us. This reminder is good for our souls:
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.” Luke 15:20
The story of the prodigal son is our story too. We veer and wander away from God’s best. From His heart. But God never leaves or turns His back on us. I love the words, “long way off.” Because you may feel like you’ve drifted too far away for God to care or reach you. But when you take that first step back toward Him, He runs to reach you. You’re met with compassion and forgiveness. Every time. God is running toward you today. If you have this pull to be closer to Him, close your eyes and whisper His name. He’s closer than you think. – Sandi
