The return of God's people
Joel 2:12 -- "Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."This is the season where God wants those who drift away to return to Him. In fact, I'm starting to see it coming. Those who've drifted away from God, come back, for God "is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity." (see Jl. 2:13).
If you read from Joel 1, it tells of the rough patches of life. But God is the only One who can see us through.
God promises never will He leave or forsake us (Ps. 94:14).
Hang on, people. Hang onto God for He is with you, to redeem you from the rough patches in life!
