Behold, we come unto You

Behold, we come unto You

" Behold, we come unto You —for You are the Lord our God." Jeremiah 3:22

In the words immediately preceding, there is a gracious exhortation and promise, "Return unto Me, backsliding children—and I will heal your backslidings." This exhortation, applied by the Holy Spirit to the heart, brings the wanderers back with shame and penitence—and yet with humble trust. "Behold, we come unto You—for You are the Lord our God."

Unto whom can I come but unto You, O Lord—from whom I have wandered, and against whom I have sinned and done evil?
You alone can receive one so unworthy and so vile.
You alone can cleanse me from my guilt and defilement.
You alone can restore my soul.
O Lord my God, I come to You—for You in infinite mercy call me to Yourself, and will receive me graciously, and love me freely. Oh draw me and keep me near to Yourself. Never allow me to wander from You anymore.

Back to Every Day!
