Rend Your Heart, Not Your Garments
“And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.”
Joel 2:13 (KJV) |
What This Means for You
In Joel's day, people tore their clothes to show grief. It was a performance of repentance. God said: stop with the show and tear your heart instead. He wants the real you, the messy, honest, broken parts. Not a polished exterior covering an unchanged heart. God is gracious, merciful, and slow to anger. He can handle your honesty.
Try This Today
Spend five minutes in honest prayer today. No fancy words. Tell God what you are actually feeling, even if it is ugly. He already knows, and He is not turning away.
