08/09/23 IS YOUR CONNECTION RESTORED

When I click-on my computer, I am always glad to see,
"Your internet connection has been restored."

Much more importantly, if my relationship with God has been broken through willful disobedience or lack of faith, I am always glad God tells me,
"Your Divine relationship has been restored.

Sadly, there are human relationships, which get broken but are not restored because someone does not accept God's healing, God's mending.

The Prodigal's father waited and watched until one day he saw his son return from his life of wallowing in the mud.
The parable is a picture of the sinner repenting and returning, and it is a picture of our heavenly Father receiving and restoring the rebellious child.

Sadly, some folks never, "come to themselves," as they wallow in their separation. They never turn their longing heart back toward home and loved ones, they never brighten the life and face of loved ones who watch and wait. 

One day there will not be anyone waiting or watching. One day there will be no more longing for restoration. One day it will be too late to return to family and Heavenly Father.

How sweet the words,
"Your relationship has been restored."
