It is easy to go the other way when you feel the pull of love.
When we see the forgiving hand of love extended to us, we naturally turn toward it and long to be with the one who loves us. This is at the heart of God, the heart of the message of the cross of Jesus, and the heart of the issue of repentance.
We can only really turn the other way when we see that there is not only a better way to go, but a better One who wants the best for us. Our turning from a wrong way that is ultimately self destructive, launches us into a genuine life of love and faith in Christ Jesus. This turning makes us free from sin and guilt and shame.
Today as we hear that in his kindness, God has made room for us and loves us in spite of our sin, we can turn toward the hand and voice and heart of love. We can go the other way easily because we find grace and all that we need in Him.
It is easy to repent, when we know we are accepted as we are. Jesus truly has a better way for our lives to go my friend. I know this by personal experience.
It is a good day to be free in God as we turn the other way!
Mark
