Turn to the Lord With All Your Heart

"Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 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, .."
Joel 2:12-13

Turn to the Lord with all my heart, also with fasting. Come unto the Lord with my whole soul and center of my being. Approach Him with an attitude of fasting, humility and sorrow for sins.
Turn to the Lord with a broken heart for the Lord is merciful, gracious and kind. A contrite heart is willing to learn and be newly formed in the hands of the Lord. It is easy to give your soul to a God who is merciful, gracious, slow to anger and is greatly kind. I am not afriad of being hurt, shamed or criticized. The Lord will kindly and patiently direct me to the changes that are needed in order to be the person He wants me to be.
