Thank You, lord, for Your great mercy. You lon to reveal Yourself to those who to not ask for You, to be found by those who not seek You or call on Your name. You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather they turn from there ways and live. The Assyrians were brutal, godless enemies of Your people Israel. they were headed for certain destruction. Yet in your Love and Kindness, you send them a word of warning, hoping they would repent. TRULY. YOU ARE THE GOD OF ALL HUMANKIND; NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR YOU.(Jonah 1:2)
An honest confession is all You ask. No hoops to jump through, no self flagellation, and certainly no pay-offs or imprisonment. Just an acknowledgement of the truth- truth that You already know, truth that I have to admit. There is nothing I can do to earn Your forgiveness. I can only surrender to it. Christ died for sinners while we were sinners. The price has already been paid. Here I am. lord, a sinner in need of a Saviour. purify me with the blood of Jesus. In Your faithfullness and Justice, please forgive me and make me clean.(1Jn 1:8-9) Blessed be in the name of the Lord
