Repentance, Faith, And Prayer

Joel 2:12  
"Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me
with all your heart, and with fasting, and 
with weeping, and with mourning:"

        To repair a tear in a garment is easy, but a broken and remorseful heart can be changed only by the Grace of God, and through faith, believing in His Son Jesus Christ. The love of God should bring us to repentance. He takes no pleasure in our miseries and if men repent and turn from their sin they find an immediate and loving welcome to the Father’s heart and home. Joel had called for the trumpet to announce war; he now directs the trumpet blast to summon the people, from the highest to the lowest, to plead for help. Prayer and true repentance and faith bring an immediate answer.
        The great things God did against Egypt and Babylon are an earnest of what He will do again. The earth, Joel 2:21; the lower animals, Joel 2:22; and, above all, the children of Zion, literal and spiritual, Joel 2:23, have good reason to rejoice in what awaits them. God promises not only to forgive sin, but to make us happy and well provided as if the locust and canker worm had never settled upon our lives, if we turn to Him.  
        Amen!!
