Do you have a loved one that has turned away from the Lord, backslid? “And one shall say, “Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.” Isaiah 57:14

The stumbling block is pride and a spirit of covetousness. God will not contend forever with them. However, God is merciful and gracious.

“For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.” “I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD, “And I will heal him.” But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.” Isaiah 57:16-21
