There used to be devout Christians.

There was once a devout Christian.
However… company parties, trips… entertainment… his heart drifted away from the church… and he fell so far from God that he felt he could never return.
…I visited him many times, sharing stories and testimonies about Jesus… but his faith… was like a flickering flame…
…He had changed so much… it was hard to believe he was the same person who had been so devout…
…He had convinced himself that God had abandoned him.
…I passionately told him, “It’s okay! Jesus hasn’t abandoned you. Even if you give up, God is waiting for you to return.”
…After a while, he repented of his careless lifestyle to Jesus.
…And he returned to church after about a year!
…God loves you with eternal love.
Human love is fleeting, but God's love...is eternal and unchanging❗️
...Jeremiah 31:3.

"The Lord appeared to me from afar.
'I have loved you with everlasting love. Therefore I have remained faithful to you.'"
...God desires that those who have been lost return today and join the circle of dance.
...
Shalom 😃
