Joel 2:12 The LORD said: It isn't too late. You can still return to me with all your heart. Start crying and mourning! Go without eating.
Joel 2:13 Don't rip your clothes to show your sorrow. Instead, turn back to me with broken hearts. I am merciful, kind, and caring. I don't easily lose my temper, and I don't like to punish.

"What's it going to take you to fight?" Brian Fields 2007
"After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes."
Nehemiah 4:14 (New International Version)
Forgive....
I was meditating this morning and a thought about an old judgment against a friend flashed through my mind. The temptation is to dwell on it, but I felt I heard the Spirit say,
"Forget it.
Forgive it.
Go forward.
Go fast." -=db=-
The Imitation of Christ
"'He who follows Me, walks not in darkness,' says the Lord. These are the words of Christ by which we are told that we should imitate His life and manners if we want to be truly enlightened and delivered from all blindness of heart.
Let our chief endeavor, therefore, be to meditate upon the life of Jesus Christ."
Thomas a' Kempis (1379-1471) from The Imitation of Christ rewritten and updated by Harold J. Chadwick
Guiding Words
Below are guiding WORDS and Thoughts we believe God has given us for the Season we’re in and the Season just ahead. Please consider, meditate, and act on what you hear. -=db=-
Get Ready! Prepare.
The Lord’s not saying, “Get ready, so I can come.” He’s saying, “I’m coming – get ready!”
Men draw near ... Martial the troops.
“Proclaim this among the men of CCF; Prepare for war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up. Joel 3:9-11
“Martial your troops”. Micah 5:1
Forget and Reach!
“One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark – Phil iii.13
“FORGET THE PAST! WIPE THE SLATE OF YOUR REMEMBERANCE WITH LOVE. FORGET YOUR FAILURES. YOUR FAILURES AND THOSE OF OTHERS.” from God Calling, A.J. Russell

To be able to return to the Lord, how blessed, how incredable, how amazing, God is merciful, kind, and caring, he is love, how overwhelmingly rightious.
