Coming Home to God

Coming Home to God: For Everyone Who Walked Away and Wonders if They Can Come Back

Maybe you drifted slowly, or maybe you slammed a door. Maybe it has been months, or years, or most of your life. And now something in you is turning back toward God, and right behind it comes the fear, that you went too far, that He is done with you, that you would have to grovel your way back into His good graces. Hear this before anything else: that is not the God Jesus described. When Jesus wanted to show us the Father's heart toward the one who left, He told of a son who took the money and wasted it all, and a father who saw him coming while he was still a great way off, and ran, and fell on his neck, and threw a feast before the boy could finish his rehearsed apology. That is God toward you right now. No probation. No lecture. Each page below meets one form of walking away, names the shame that keeps people out, and walks you home. You do not have to fix yourself first. You only have to turn around.
