概要

 A lot of people stay away from God longer than they need to because they're waiting until they feel worthy enough to return. In this episode, discover why you don't have to get right before you come back. Coming back is how the getting-right starts.Autumn Miles grew up a pastor's daughter. She knew the language of faith from the inside out. But after an abusive marriage and a church that turned her away when she needed help, she ended up alone one night in a level of despair she hadn't known was possible, as far from God as she'd ever been.That night, she picked up a Bible and opened it. She fell to the floor and asked Jesus to come into her heart. She came with nothing resolved. She came in the middle of the wreckage, and that's where God met her.Her story is one I've seen echoed in pastoral conversations more times than I can count. People sit across from me and say, "You don't know what I've done," when I tell them God will accept them just the way they are. Shame convinces a person that their case is the exception. That grace applies to everyone else, but what they've done puts them in a category of their own.That's a lie. And it's a lie that keeps people away from God far longer than they need to stay away.Jesus told a story in Luke 15 about a son who burned through his inheritance and ended up feeding pigs in a foreign country. The plan he rehearsed on the way home wasn't about cleaning himself up first. He came back broke and humiliated, with a speech that amounted to: I've ruined everything, please just let me be a servant.That's when the father ran.He saw his son coming from a long way off, which means he'd been watching the road. He ran to him and embraced him before a single word of apology was spoken. The son was still rehearsing his confession when the father was already calling for a celebration.That picture is the answer to the lie. God is not standing at the door with a checklist, waiting to see if you've cleaned yourself up. He's watching the road. He sees you coming. And He's moving toward you before you've finished the sentence.Through Autumn's story and the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, this episode makes the case that the father restored his son the moment he showed up. The return to God is where the recovery begins.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why shame convinces people their past disqualifies them, and what Jesus' parable says directly to that lieWhat the father's posture in Luke 15 reveals about how God responds when we finally turn toward homeWhy coming back is where the getting-right begins, and what that first step can look like todayYou don't have to get right before you come back. Coming back is where the getting-right starts.Share This Episode:https://www.dailydevotionsforbusylives.com/220Need Prayer?
