God waits for all sinners to return to Him and He is joyful. Think about it, please.
No, He doesn’t wait.
He actively draws men to Himself.
God doesn’t sit passively by waiting for us to make the first move.
I have returned to Christ already—though it was the Lord who moved me to do so—and I am joyful.
Now I continue to pray that I grow in the faith, obey God’s will out of love for him and my neighbor, and that I do not grieve my heavenly Father by falling into sin.
But if I do sin, I still have an advocate with the Father, who is Jesus Christ, whose blood covers all my sin.
