Some time ago, I was talking to a sister-in-Christ who shared with me about her backslidden son. She wanted me to remember her son in prayer. Nothing else will bring greater joy to her than to see her son return to the Lord. Her heart was broken but her faith remained strong in the Lord.
We must be careful not to send these straying people on a guilt trip. We can pray and love them back to the household of God. All they need is our love, care and acceptance. It does not matter what they have done or where they have been. What is most important is they are home.
All We Like Sheep
All we like sheep have gone astray
Each of us turning our own separate way
We have all sinned and
Fallen short of Your glory
But Your glory is what we desire to see
And in Your presence is where we long to be
O Lord!, show us
Your mercy and grace
Take us to Your holy place
Forgive our sin and heal our land
We long to live in Your presence
Once again
Taking our sickness, taking our pain
Jesus the sacrifice Lamb has been slain
He was despised rejected by men
He took our sin
Draw us near to You Father
Through Jesus Your Son
Let us worship before You
Cleansed by Your blood
