Joel 2:12-17 NASB
"Yet even now," declares the L ord , "Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning; And rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the L ord your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil. Who knows whether He will not turn and relent And leave a blessing behind Him, Even a grain offering and a drink offering For the L ord your God? Blow a trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and the nursing infants. Let the bridegroom come out of his room And the bride out of her bridal chamber. Let the priests, the L ord ' s ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, "Spare Your people, O L ord , And do not make Your inheritance a reproach, A byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, 'Where is their God?'"
Dear Lord I think of this wednesday and shudder. By now I don't think my sin is unforgivable. However I fear that I don't find myself truly broken and repentant.
Lead me to repent dear Lord! Rend my heart, let it be bear before you. Teach me and I'll learn, grant me an appetite and I'll thirst for You.
