Lasting blessings – Part 3
Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil. When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. Mark 4:5,6
That temptation and that test tells you that your fruit is now strong and now you have work to maintain it. You don't have to work to create it. While maintaining the fruits and character we get complacent and start feeling monotonous and let our guards down. Thats what the devil wanted and he gets an opportunity to sneak in your life and make you fall. This results in backsliding. That doesn't mean that you can never get up ever in your life. You can again get up and begin a fresh with God. God is full of opportunities. He is full of grace and mercy. There is never a dead end with God, even now you can begin a fresh with God. He is ready to receive you even before you think of going to Him. Remember the father was ready with everything even before the prodigal son thought of returning. He will throw a big party at your return. Don't waste time, get up and begin a fresh with God. He loves you and will forgive you no matter what great a sin you have committed.
Don't stay defeated for a any longer. I know there might be lot of questions that would be runnning in your mind. God will answer all of those questions but first come to Him. You might be thinking about the society, will they accept you again? Let me tell you Kathryn Kuhlman chose to come back to God and God used her mightily. Samson chose to return to God and God answered His prayer and He killed more people at his own death than all his life put together. Your returning to God is your surrender. It is the death of your ego and pride, this will be great blessing for you than any other thing. Let the people think what they have too. People are not God. This is your time, return to Him and He will willfully accept you as you are. You had this in your mind from long time, that you should be returning to God. God has led me to only remind you that He has not forgotten you and will never forget you.
