One of the messages that God spoke to Israel in Zechariah was "Return to me… and I will return to you" (1:3).  God was not forcing Himself upon the Israelites anymore than He forces Himself upon us.  Rather, He was patiently waiting for their return.  He was waiting for them to hit rock bottom and to come to the realization that the life they were living wasn't bringing satisfaction.  The truth is that God is waiting for you to return to Him, too.  The light is on, and He is ready to welcome you when you're ready to come.
