“Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts.” Joel 2:12
Here is a question for you to ponder for a while, and because the Lord has placed it so heavily on my heart I will ask it three times, in three different ways, hoping that by the third time it will begin to take root within you. And I pray that you will allow the Holy Spirit to begin a work within you.
- “Don’t you realize how kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Or don’t you care? Can’t you see how kind he has been in giving you time to turn from your sin? Romans 2:4 NLT
- “Or did you think that because he’s such a nice God, he’d let you off the hook? Better think this on through from the beginning. God is kind, but he’s not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.” Romans 2:4 MSG
- “Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, wanting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God’s desire is to give you a change of heart?” BBE
Prayer: Thank You Father for Your kindness towards us sinners, thank You for being patient with such stubborn, selfish people such as me. Thank You Lord for being so tolerant of me and allowing me to turn from my sinful ways and turn to You. Help me to take advantage of this time You are giving me, may I never take it for granted. Amen
