The voice of God bids you to return, now, and I would urge you to do so because life is so uncertain that if you do not return now, you may not live to return at all! Still, if you have done this, my Brother or my Sister, the Lord's message to you is, "Return, return, return." He speaks to you tonight, in the cool of the evening He appeals to you, and He says, "Return unto Me. Arise and seek your Father's face."
The special call is to the fallen, "Return; for you have fallen." Come, you fallen ones, come and welcome! It is to the wandering, for to such is the command appropriate, which says, "Return.", "Return, O wanderer, to your home! Your Father calls for you." Because you are thus fallen, you have need to return, and God considers your need, not your merit! Because you are fallen, God's pity invites you to return.
And amidst the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds, safe, safe, safe and near our God and blessed eternally shall we be! Come then, you tremblers, you doubters, you little ones, you that think you cannot have a part in the promise! At least, if I am one of them, I know it is, for it has often greatly cheered and gladdened me in the times of darkness and despondency, to feel that I could abide under the wings of my God and all was well and all was safe.
Look at him! How unlikely he appears to become a convert. He is an Asiatic slave of about the same grade as an ordinary Lascar, or heathen Chinese. But Paul seized the opportunity and preached Jesus to him and the runaway slave became a Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ! Grace, also, is to be observed, in the next place, in the conversion of this runaway slave.
Bowing with submission to the will of God, by that very fact we are furnished with unerring guidance! He has found a resting place, as the birds do, when, after wandering away, they fly back to their nest and he sings, "Return unto your rest, O my Soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you."
Trust Christ with your soul. Trust Him implicitly! Trust Him sincerely!
