Joel 2:13 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.
God is looking for true repentance and obedience, and this
is no clearer than what we read here in this verse. It is also clear to us from this verse that
God is not reluctant to forgive our trespasses if our sorrow over our sin is
from our hearts and not just an outward display. The description of God here leaves little to
no doubt about His eagerness to take us into His family and love and care for
us, forgiving all sin and starting anew.
