Return to Me







What does God require of us? Does He want us to make a public display of our faith by tearing our clothes apart, only expressing our repentence with our lips? God wants us to return to Him with hearts that are truly repentant. He is a God who is full of grace and compassion to those who come to Him with hearts that want to turn away from their evil ways to do the will of God.


Joel2: 12-13

12 "Even now," declares the LORD,
"return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning."

13 Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the LORD your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
