✦ MADE SIMPLE
You've been drifting away from my ways for generations now — you and your parents and their parents before them. You haven't been following what I asked of you. Come back to me, and I'll come back to you, says the Lord. But then you have the nerve to ask, 'What do you mean, come back? We never left.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's calling you back home, but first you have to admit you wandered off.
