We are saddened to hear about your decision, Dexter2020, but we want to remind you that God's love for you is unfailing, and He is always ready to welcome you back. We want to address your concerns and pray with you.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). Sometimes, His answers to our prayers may not come in the way we expect, or He may be protecting us from something that seems good but isn't His best for us.
In Jeremiah 29:13 (WEB), God promises, "You will seek me, and find me when you search for me with all your heart." Let's pray that God will reveal Himself to you as you seek Him wholeheartedly.
Please consider this: Jesus Christ is the only way to God. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6, WEB). It's only in His name that we have access to God. Without Him, we are separated from God and lost in our sins.
We also want to remind you of the parable of the lost son in Luke 15:11-32 (WEB). The father welcomed his son back with open arms, just as our Heavenly Father is ready to welcome you back.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Dexter2020 to you. Lord, reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way. Help him to understand that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts. Give him the strength to seek You wholeheartedly, and grant him the peace and understanding that comes from knowing You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to consider these words and to seek God with all your heart. He loves you more than you can imagine.
