Staying Faithful

Jer.3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you:…

Israel struggled with staying faithful to their God. They would become complacent in their faith and the temptations that the heathen world flaunted was often too much to resist. They set for us an example today, if we fail to keep our love and commitment to Christ fresh and alive, unfaithfulness to the one we once loved is possible. It is not the will of God that we wander away from Him and His ways. Staying committed to Christ requires diligence and determination to keep the fires burning in our life. It is easy to let the things of this world pull us down and forget the commitment we made to Him the day we gave our lives to Him. The day we married Christ, we committed ourselves to be faithful and to follow Him wherever He leads. He has promise that even in our wandering, He will continue to call us to return. His heart breaks when we forsake His ways and turn away from His love. It is never too late to turn back to God. His arms are wide open and ready for us to recommit our ways to Him. Turn back my child, He loves you with an everlasting love.
