““Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” 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.”
Joel 2:12-13 ESV
No matter what time it is, no matter how bad things have become, it is never too late to call out to the Lord for forgiveness and deliverance from the bondage you find yourself in.
John Newton sank so low he became a slave trader, yet, he had someone praying for him, he came to the Lord in such a way that Amazing Grace, the hymn, tells his story. ‘I once was lost but now I am found, was blind but now I see!’
Jesus has touched terrorists, drug dealers, homosexuals, drunks and more. He has called them to Himself and set them free from their bondage.
Each Christian can attest how Jesus set them free from their own personal hell. New life in Jesus is life indeed. The sceipture comes alive, no more darkness, only light. Amen!
