"Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.”
Joel 2:13.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster.
14 Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and leave a blessing behind him.
One of the lowest points of my life.
I went to my friend Larry for help.
He referred my impossible situation to God.
He told me to go to another room and just listen.
He said I was way too frantic.
Sitting alone in a very unfamiliar place,
I randomly opened the Bible to the Book of Joel.
I put my bony finger on the page and
it landed on Joel 2:13.
I'll never forget the moment. The Presence of God.
And the same thing happened tonight.
Fighting back tears, I sat alone at a restaurant and read:
Joel 2:13.
And the rain came down on my soul. Poured down!
How do I rend this heart of mine?
