Repent and live

With all of the talk of judgment in the prophets, it’s easy to forget that God is a reluctant judge. He would much rather that his people turned from their sin and lived (Ezk 18:31-32). He always stands ready to forgive and start over. He does not desire that any should perish, but that all might repent (2Pe 3:9). He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezk 18:23). The plan is simple; repent and live. Can you swallow your pride, acknowledge your guilt, and try to do what is right? “No matter how stained your past is, your future is spotless.” (-unknown)
