Arise and go to your Father today!

In Psalm 38 we can really feel David's soul anguish as he cries out to God for mercy. However, PTL, God is even more ready to extend mercy to the contrite heart than we are asking for it. 

I love the passage where we are told, "Arise and go to your Father. He will meet you a great way off. If you take even one step toward Him in repentance, He will hasten to enfold you in His arms of infinite love. His ear is open to the cry of the contrite soul. The very first reaching out of the heart after God is known to Him. Never a prayer is offered, however faltering, never a tear is shed, however secret, never a sincere desire after God is cherished, however feeble, but the Spirit of God goes forth to meet it. Even before the prayer is uttered or the yearning of the heart made known, grace from Christ goes forth to meet the grace that is working upon the human soul."– Christ Object Lessons, p. 206 

We are sinners, but there is hope for when we turn to Him, He takes us back with open arms, forgives us and makes us clean. Praise the Lord! 

However you have failed or disappointed God today or in days gone by, do not try to make yourself clean. Just turn and go to Him. He will do the work. He will make you clean! He's just waiting for you to come! "Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." Isa. 1:18 

[I'm traveling to Kentucky today for prayer conference. Then I will be headed on to the General Conference for 3 weeks of prayer. Please keep me in prayer, and pray that God will use me in these coming weeks for His glory. So much going on right now, I just need His supernatural strength and blessing!]
