If we will return to God, He will return to us  -  Malachi 3:7

Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

God invited His people to return to Him, but they denied that they had gone astray. Due to their denial, they questioned God and would not return.
