Joel 2:12-14 Can you hear Him?

Joel 2:12Yet even now,

declares the LORD,

return to Me with all your heart,

with fasting, weeping, and mourning.

13So rend your hearts and not your garments,

and return to the LORD your God.

For He is gracious and compassionate,

slow to anger,

and abounding in loving devotion.

And He relents from sending disaster.

14Who knows? He may turn and relent

and leave a blessing behind Him—

grain and drink offerings

to the LORD your God.

Rend:to rend, tear, cut, lacerate, cut down”

If you read Joel you will see that the Lord is disciplining the Jews, but in the middle of it all, His loving heart for man leaves them a way out. He invites them back.

God invites you back too. No mater what you’re going through,  no mater what you’ve done, reread these verses, 

“For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in loving devotion.”

He is inviting you back. Can you hear Him?

Blessings, David
