God's eagerness



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.
