Praise the Lord that God's mercies are new every morning and He is waiting for all of us to come home to Him. Home to Him in our hearts, accepting Him into our lives and living that out in our daily choices.
He stands ready to greet us when we do come home to Him in our choices and what we choose to follow and love on a daily basis. He will not go running to the pigpen and pull us out, He won't try to force us to come to Him. He won't be around to deliver the things we want at the edge of our pigpen.
What He is waiting for is for us to climb out of the pigpen (the place of our daily choices that separates us from God) and walk home to Him. When we do walk home to Him we will find Him waiting with open arms to welcome us into the family of God. To love on us and make room for us in the family.
Part of coming home takes the realization that we can't serve both God and the things in life that we want to serve like alcohol, drugs, sex, money, food, our attitudes, and free will choices to do whatever we want whenever we want. In other words we can't be devoted to God and be constantly and daily devoted to the refrigerator, the alcohol, the other things in our lives it just doesn't work no matter how hard we try to get it to work.
We need to make the decision that we don't want to live outside of God any more, we want out of the pigpen we have created for ourselves. It may have been fun for awhile but its something that never lasts but the relationship we can have with God is something that will last for all eternity.
So out of the pigpen we must go and head for home in our hearts to where God is waiting to welcome us into the family.
