DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew Murray emphasizes the path to restoration for Christians who feel
stuck in a mediocre spiritual life. He draws parallels between the
prodigal son and the elder brother, urging believers to repent for their
hard thoughts about God and to seek a deeper experience of His promises.
Murray encourages those who have tasted God's grace to recognize their
longing for more and to believe in God's ability to cleanse their past
sins. He calls for a genuine repentance that leads to a renewed faith
and a richer relationship with God.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We need to consider the way to restoration, the way to get out of this
mediocre Christian experience. The prodigal repented, and the elder
brother should have done so as well. Like him, those children of God who
have been living within the sight of God's promises without enjoying
them need to repent. I am not talking about the repentance of the
unsaved but of those who already know what it is to be pardoned. Haven't
you sinned by having hard thoughts about God, and isn't there in your
heat a longing, a thirsting and hungering, for something better than
what you have now? Come then, repent, and just believe that God does
indeed blot out the sin of your converted life. Do you believe that?
