God Allows U-Turns


I was surprised when I moved to Arizona to find that U Turns were legal. At first, it was unnerving to see folks making those turns in busy intersections.  In all the places I had previously lived, such was strictly forbidden.

This week I saw a neat bumper sticker.  It proclaimed, "God Allows U-turns."  What a great message that is.  That is what repentance is all about (Acts 8:22). When you discover you are going the wrong way, you repent and make a u-turn in your life. Before you were traveling away from God, now you are headed in his direction.

There is more good news.  God does not limit us to just one u-turn in our lifetime.  We can make as many as necessary to keep us on the straitened and narrow road that leads to life (I John 1:7-10).

Folks who are perfect never need to make corrections in their life. But the fact is none of us are in that category, although some seem to act as though they are. Since we all sin (Rom. 3:23), we all need to repent of those sins (Acts 17:30). If this is your situation, then we urge you to change your heart and change your life.  Make the u-turn and get right with God. It is legal, it's right, it's necessary if you want to spend eternity in heaven.


Sincerely,



Back -- or go -- Home
