"I will heal their apostasy (waywardness); I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them"
I read this awhile back and it is currently one of many verses stuck to my wall. I read this thinking of others, that God will heal my friend's waywardness. But, now I am reminded of my own neglect. I have moved to college, yes. It is a christian college, yes, but I have not spent serious time in the word since getting here. I have become wayward, using excuses and counting my bible classes as devotional time.
Now, I read this and then Zepheniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."
He will quiet me. I am busy and I am distracted from my real purpose. But, God's love is poured into me as faithfulness. He stands by me waiting for when I fix my eyes, once again, to the heavens.
Glorious and mighty, you're awesome in beauty, greatly to be praised.
