God says "come back"

“Come back” I call to you.
My arms are open,
Waiting to embrace you,
To hold you.
Come back to me,
I’m calling you,
Yes, you by name.
Come back to me,
I’m your creator, sustainer.

I’m waiting for you,
I’m here,
I’ve never left, I’ve always been here for you.
Come back to me, come home.

I’m not waiting to tell you off.
I’m waiting to tell you, that I love you.
I’m waiting,
whispering and shouting to you of my love.

Yes, I know you may have wandered.
You may have been tempted by the world.
You may have gone for a walk on your own,
in your own direction.
But I’ve still been with you,
I’m longing for you to come home.
Hear me call your name.

I love you, yes you,
Wherever you’ve been,
whatever you’ve been up to.
I love you, I forgive you.
Please come home.
I’m waiting- my arms are open.

I am the God, who created you,
I know your heart, mind and your ways.
I know your longings and your joys.
I know I love you,
just accept my love for you.
Hear these words,
I love you- as you are.
My love to you is unfailing, it won’t run out.

Please come to me,
Come home,
I’m waiting and will wait,
Let’s sit down together,
I’m ready when you are.

I’m ready with my love and grace.
I’ve loved you,
I love you now,
I’ll love you for eternity.
Just let me love you.

In my love we can talk,
In my love we can walk,
In my love we can begin again.
In my love we can work together.

I’m ready, waiting.
Are you coming?
Don’t wait till you think you’re sorted and ready.

Come now.
Bring your struggles,
Bring your joy,
Bring your sorrows,
Bring your laughter.

Come now as you are,
In brokenness,
In strength and weakness.

Come, talk to me,
and hear my whisper to you.
“I love you,
I forgive you,
I am with you.”
