Jeremiah 3:22 -- On Healing Our Backslidings

"Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God."
Jeremiah 3:22


I like the idea here that if we are sliding back into old habits that we can return to God and he will heal our backslidings. It's so much different than saying "become perfect so you will be worthy to approach me" ... instead God is saying come back now, the way we are, and he will help us cure the problems that are raising a barrier between us.

Today, let's remember who the Lord our God is, and return to him, and be thankful for his help in healing us and helping us to repent and change into better people who keep improving over time. :)
