Text: 1 John 3:1
When a person is lost not only do they separate themselves geographically from God but they also separate themselves spiritually from God. A spiritual distant relationship from God is a place you go in your heart & your mind. It is a place that you don’t want God to know that you’re there & it is a place where you think God can’t see you. However, it doesn’t matter where you go, Watch! God sees you & he knows that you are there. David in Psalmist 139:7-10 says this, Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence. If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. And so,
1). When you distant yourself from God, God will not distant himself from you. Isaiah 59:1-2
2). No matter how distant you are it’s time to return home. Luke 15:18
3). No matter how distant you are the father’s love awaits. 1 Corinthians 10:13; Luke 15:22-24; 1 John 3:1
