RETURNING VERSUS TURNING

Tobit 13:6 (not in the Protestant Bible)
If you return to Him with all your heart
And with all your soul,
To do the truth before Him,
Then He will turn to you
And not hide His presence from you.
Personal Challenge
This verse makes it very clear what happens between God and His followers. Sometimes we walk away from Him. Whether it is pursuing our desires and passions or getting distracted from our relationship with Him, the answer is for us to return to Him with our whole heart and soul. This is the act of repentance. Notice here that God will turn to us. He had never left us even though we had left Him. When we turned our back on Him, He remained with us. When we return to Him, He makes His presence known to us. Glory be to God!
