Returning To God

Scriptures

Luke 15:11-32

Thought

Apologizing isn’t easy for most of us. Saying I was wrong is often humiliating and a something we try our best not to do.

What does apologizing have to do with returning to God? Apologizing is a lot like repentance. We realize we have been going the wrong way and need to turn around, but repentance is much deeper. It’s between you and God.
