With all your heart...!

Joel 2:12-13, 32 NKJV

“Now, therefore,” says the Lord , “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is  gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. And it shall come to pass That  whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.

Shalom! Day #249. Do you know that salvation is not in any other "gods" name, nor in any religion nor in any person,  but only in the name of Jesus? Let's pray. Father, as we call upon the name Lord, come and save us from our sins as we turn to You wholeheartedly. Let not Your wrath be poured into this generation but by Your grace and mercy come and save us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Again God is not interested in how talented or skilled we are. He is interested in our hearts. He did not say, "turn to me with all your talents and skills." He says "turn to Me with all your heart with fasting, with weeping and with mourning." Rend your heart. It means to tear your heart. Secrets are hidden in the secret place and when you break open, secret is no more a secret. Why God is interested with our heart? Because when you tear your heart, every hidden issues of the heart is exposed to the Lord. Yes the Lord knows every little things about us, yet He does not force His way to us. He can always crush our heart but He is gentle. He wants us willingly to do so and not by force. For He is gracious and merciful,  slow to anger and of great kindness.

When you break open your heart, with fasting, with weeping and with mourning and as you call upon the name of the Lord, He shall come and He shall save. For salvation is not in a religion, not in the fake gods, not in the wood and stones, but only IN THE NAME OF JESUS! For there is no other name under heaven for by which a man can be saved. When we turn to God in repentance, turn wholeheartedly. Break open our heart and He shall perform the perfect miracle. So what are we waiting for?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
