Zechariah 1:3
“Therefore tell the people: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Return to Me,’ declares the LORD of Hosts, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the LORD of Hosts.”
There is something comforting in this verse. God speaks to hearts that have wandered, yet He does not shut the door. He opens it wider. He says, “Return to Me.” His not the voice of a stranger. It is the voice of a Father calling His children home.
We may drift slowly, distracted by cares, burdens, and misplaced desires, but God still invites us back into fellowship with Him. Look at the promise in this verse. “And I will return to you.” The Lord does not make us crawl through shame to reach Him. He welcomes repentance with restoring love. When we take even trembling steps toward God, we discover that He has been watching the road all along, ready to welcome us back.

Prayer: Lord, draw my wandering heart back to You, and let me rest again in Your faithful love.
