多年來，逸凡因為成癮行為而無法親近上帝。他常這麼想：我怎能配得祂的愛？所以，雖然他持續去教會，但還是感覺到有一道無法跨越的鴻溝，將他與上帝隔開。

然而，每當逸凡懇切地為一些事情禱告時，上帝似乎都會回應他。在他有困難的時候，上帝也會派人去鼓勵和安慰他。幾年之後，逸凡明白其實上帝一直要將他尋回，他也看到上帝一直愛他和看顧著他，就這樣，逸凡才開始確信上帝的慈愛與赦免。他說：「如今，我知道上帝已經寬恕我，即使我無法完全戒除成癮行為，仍然可以讓上帝吸引我到祂面前，來親近祂，祈求祂的幫助。」

以西結書34章11-16節告訴我們，上帝會尋回祂的子民。上帝說：「我必親自尋找我的羊，將他們尋見」（11節），祂鄭重宣告要拯救他們，豐豐富富地供應他們。因為以色列百姓的領袖離棄了他們，而百姓又違逆那位真正的牧人（1-6節）。無論我們是一些境況下的無助受害者，或是在我們自己的罪所帶來的後果中苦苦掙扎，上帝都會在愛中尋回我們。祂以慈愛與恩典，吸引我們回到祂面前。如果你已經忘卻了上帝，現在就回轉歸向祂吧！願你跟著祂的帶領，天天持續地與祂同行。

For years, Evan struggled with an addiction that kept him from drawing close to God. How can I be worthy of His love? he wondered. So, while he kept going to church, he felt that there was an unbridgeable chasm that kept him separated from God.

Yet, whenever Evan prayed earnestly for something, God seemed to answer him. God also sent people to encourage and comfort him in difficult times. After some years, Evan realized God was constantly pursuing him and showing that He’d always loved and cared for him, and that’s when he began to trust in God’s forgiveness and love. “Now, I know that I’m forgiven and can let God draw me close to Him, even though I’m still struggling with my addiction,” he said.

Ezekiel 34:11-16 tells us of a God who pursued His people. “I myself will search for my sheep and look after them,” He said, vowing to rescue them and provide for them abundantly (v. 11). This was after their human leaders had abandoned them, and they themselves disobeyed their true Shepherd (vv. 1-6). Whether we’re helpless victims of circumstances or struggling with the consequences of our own sin, God pursues us in love. In His mercy and grace, He draws us back to Him. If you’ve forgotten God, turn back to Him. Then, as He leads, continue to walk with Him each day.
