Welcome back home!
In Luke 15, there is a story of the father and his son. The son who left the family returned. See how his father receives him back.
18 I will get up and go to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired workers.”’ 20 So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home his father saw him, and his heart went out to him; he ran and hugged his son and kissed him. 21 Then his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 But the father said to his slaves, ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe, and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet! 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it! Let us eat and celebrate, 24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again—he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate. (Luke 15:18-24)
Your heavenly Father welcomes you back with open arms.

2. Spend time exploring God’s Word.
It is important you also discover what the Bible says about God, you, life, and eternity.
You can start reading the Bible available in this app. It’s been a while since you opened the Bible? You can learn more about reading the Bible.
We encourage you to check this app daily and start reading Daily Inspiration available on the Dashboard. In God’s Word, you will find the answers you seek. Be confident that the decisions you are making daily are based on truth. In fact, Jesus promised that the Truth found in the Bible will set us free from whatever has us in bondage. Begin by reading the Gospel of John.
3. Join together with other Christians!
Your spiritual vitality depends on you connecting regularly with your brothers and sisters in God’s family. This “family time” provides mutual encouragement, practical insights about living the Christian life, and direction for fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. Look for a Bible-believing church or group of believers in your locality. Here is more about finding the right church.
Some have moved away from God because of their negative or painful experience related to a local church. If that is the case, God wants to heal and restore you. His promise for an abundant life in love and the kingdom with power, peace, and joy remains unchanged and true for you.
