God wants u to turn back to Him

Turning back to Lord

Let us read Psalms 119:33-40.

Teach me your decrees, O Lord;
I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions;
I will put them into practice with all my heart.
Make me walk along the path of your commands,
for that is where my happiness is found.
Give me an eagerness for your laws
rather than a love for money!
Turn my eyes from worthless things,
and give me life through your word.
Reassure me of your promise,
made to those who fear you.
Help me abandon my shameful ways;
for your regulations are good.
I long to obey your commandments!
Renew my life with your goodness.


Be encouraged! Because the Lord is with us. Let us turn back to Him again, and put Him first in our life. Help us to live a righteous way before Him. Help us to obey His commandments, that is to love each other like ourselves, and love Him even more.

Therefore, say to the people, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.’ (Zechariah 1:3)

Have faith in Him!

But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” (Mark 5:36)

Are you worrying about your life? Your died dreams? Unfulfilled promises? Your tomorrow and your future? Why is it whatever Lord has said is not yet come to pass? "Don't be afraid. Just have faith." Lord says.

Remember the story of Jairus in Mark 5? How Jairus's daughter was dead, and she seems to be not able to see the world again. Jesus our Lord is a worker of miracle, there is nothing impossible in Him. God is the God who do the impossible things. He could resurrect your long lost dreams, your finance, your family, your future just as you submit to His word. He can resurrect Jairus's daugther, He surely can bring anything that seemly is dead to life again, be it your long lost dreams, your finance, your family, your future. Just "Don't be afraid. Just have faith."

Please turn back to Lord.

Let us read Romans 3:21-29.

But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.

Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.

After all, is God the God of the Jews only? Isn’t he also the God of the Gentiles? Of course he is.


Do you think that your are saved because how good, how wonderful you are? Wrong! You are saved because He is good, not you are good. We are all sinners, we all fall short of His glory. We are here today is because of His mercy, not because we are a good person. We are here today is because of His love, not because we deed a lot of good things. We are here today is because of His sacrifice, not because of how much we have let go for him. We are here today is because of his grace, not because of how devoted we are. Before we love Him, He already is loving us. Before we know Him, He already is knowing us. Before we seek Him, He already is waiting for us. Please turn back to Lord, please turn back to Lord. He love you very much.

May us all turn back to Lord. Amen.

God bless everyone. ^_^
