Hosea 6:1
"Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.
______________________________________________
God has called each of to know Him. He has done the work of salvation and offered us a way back into his arms. Some of us have accepted this gift and have given our lives to Him. And yet we stray back into the very ways that caused our separation from Him in the first place. It is in these moments we need to recognize what we are doing and immediately turn back to God. The things we turn to in place of Him only serve to separate us from His presence. Whether its money, sex, drugs, food, or ourselves we must give repent and give it to Him so that he can handle it, remove it, and heal the wounds it is causing in our lives.
Nothing can separate us from God’s love. But we can choose to turn to our own ways and understanding. We can choose to put idols in the place of God and effectively harm ourselves in the process. Take the time to keep it real with yourself in order to cut those hindrances out of your life. It may be a struggle but keep pushing and reaching out to God. Let God discipline you and then heal you. Your life will never be the same.
