Devotional: December 12th



Return ye backsliding children and I will heal your backslidings, Jeremiah 3:22. See also Luke 15:20. When he was yet a great way off.

Hear ye therefore, the voice of thy loving Father and Shepherd, O thou backsliding child, and lost sheep, crying earnestly. Return, return. Do not run on in the broad way with the world any longer. Are you not tired yet of the husks of the world? Do you feel no troubles in the soul? Shall not these drive thee to God? Lo! thy Father and Shepherd seeks thee. He is gone forth to call and meet thee already. He will receive thee willingly and joyfully. Come only weeping and praying as the prodigal Son, he will freely forgive thee all, though thou hadst sinned ever so much. He is also able to heal and correct the most desperate corruptions of thy heart. He can deliver thee from the very jaws of hell and the devil. Nay, if thou even wast possessed with more than seven devils, he can still cast them out. Begin only to call upon him earnestly in prayer, and poor and wretched as thou art, come to him as the physician of thy soul; for the physician and the sick, the rich and the poor, are the best match for one another. He healeth ALL our diseases, and can make possible what seems most impossible to thee.

Come all ye vilest sinners, come,
He’ll form your souls anew;
His gospel and his heart has room
For rebels such as you.
