A Call To Repentance - Rev. Grace Reyes
“Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.”

I am struck with an overwhelming contrite Spirit of gratitude for all of the blessings that I have been given. They have been freely given to me by my Abba Father, there was nothing I had to do to earn them. His Grace and Mercy freely poured out upon me. As I think on this, I am left with a desire to fall on my knees to worship this awesome God of mine.
Instead of focusing on those prayers that are “pending” or unanswered, even as the conflicts arise, that at times have forced me to turn my attention away from my God, I come to a place that I realize how much I fall short of His glory and it propels me to action!
In this place of repentance and true surrender I bow to His unending love for me. I cry Holy for He is Holy. I worship because he is so worthy and my heart jumps for joy at the realization that He loves me no matter my shortcomings. His Grace is sufficient and the invitation to sit at His table is a forever one.
I am truly blessed.
