What do you do if you’ve been caught up in a sin?  Confess to God and wait for Him.  It is not your eternity that can be manipulated by your own will.  It is the will of God you’re seeking.

Don’t lose faith in your waiting.  Remain solidly trusting.  Just wait.  The Lord will not reject His people forever.  We are set to the task of learning how to live under the rule of the Most High God.  Restoration after a sin is not something we can conjure up from our own words.  God is looking for a renewed interest in His ways within us.

And what if the sin we have done is one of those that have repeated far too often?  What then?  Again, sit and wait on the Lord after you have confessed it to Him.  Let Him be Lord, even of your restoration.  He has promised that He does not give as the world gives.  This requires a great deal of patience from us.  He knows what He is looking for.  And after a time He will restore you.  Do not forget that the unforgivable sin is that of complete denial of His intervention.  He cannot forgive an unrepentant heart.  That heart will not accept His gift.  But that is not the heart you have now.  Look how you yearn to be restored to Him.  Just wait and be silent.  Like a little child who has been punished, accept your spanking and be patient.  His love for you is not that of man.
