Lord,
You call us to ‘return’ to You (Jeremiah 3:14,22). You call us to make
our response to You. You invite us to say, ‘Yes, we will come to You,
for You are the Lord our God’ (Jeremiah 3:22). How are we to come to
You? We are to come to You, confessing our sins – ‘We have sinned
against the Lord our God’ (Jeremiah 3:25). We are to come to You,
trusting You to save us – ‘Surely in the Lord our God is the salvation
of Israel’ (Jeremiah 3:23). We thank You, Lord, for all the blessings
that You give to those who return to You. You are ‘merciful’ to us.
You do ‘not treat us as our sins deserve’ (Jeremiah 3:12, Psalm
103:10). We become Your children. We call You, ‘Father’ (Jeremiah 3:19;
Galatians 4:6). You ‘cure us of our backsliding.’ ‘In Christ’, we become
‘a new creation’ (Jeremiah 3:22; 2 Corinthians 5:17). Thank You, Lord.
