For many years you were patient with them. By your Spirit you admonished them through your prophets. Yet they paid no attention, so you handed them over to the neighboring peoples. But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God. -Neh. 9:30-31 NIV
Living in this day and age, we know what it is like to be handed over to the neighboring people's. Our society has become u recognizable. We have adopted all of the gods of the neighboring tribes. Our sons and daughters have abandoned the truth and even those of faith have become cold.
Yet we have hope. God is still the God of great mercy. He has not abandoned us. He is waiting for us to return, to turn our hearts toward him. His heart cries out to us. He cries our to us as a father waiting for his lost child to return. Return, that is all he asks of us, return.
