Turn to the Lord with a Contrite Heart

Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable?Therefore this is what the Lord says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me”
Jeremiah 15:18‭a-‬19a NIV

Reflection:
It is sin that brings along with itself the brokenness and pain, and we must realize that when we sin, it is we who go away from God. But God's ways aren't like us, and he beckons to come to him. However, before we return, we must repent and be sorry for what we have done. We must let go of the very sin we had held on to, like the prodigal son, we must come to our senses. Then, when we approach God, he will see us at a distance and come running to hold us in his arms. 

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to repent with a humble and contrite heart. May you seek consolation in his word made flesh in Christ Jesus his son. And may you always be led by his Holy Spirit. Amen 

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
