Joel 2:12-13

Joel 2


 12 Even now—


          [this is] the LORD's declaration—
    turn to Me with all your heart,
    with fasting, weeping, and mourning.


    13 Tear your hearts,
    not just your clothes,
    and return to the LORD your God.
    For He is gracious and compassionate,
    slow to anger, rich in faithful love,
    and He relents from sending disaster. 


There have been times I've been hurt so bad. I have to admit, I've often thought of how nice it would be for that person the person who hurt me to come crawling to me on their knees and in tears. I want to know how sorry they are for hurting me - that they feel REALLY bad.


But, then I think....what kind of a repenter am I? What do I do when I know I've hurt someone else? How do I respond when I've sinned against God? Do I downplay it? Do I try to stifle my emotions? Do I run after the Lord and/or the other one I have offended, or do I trudge with my head down?


What about you? What kind of a repenter are you?
