Repent

"Stop. Stop it." You cry the words, tears streaming down your face. "Stop ignoring me. Turn back to me. Stop it--please! My people are hurting. Stop ignoring the cries of my children.

Repent.
Turn back to me. I love my people. I gave up heaven's throne to be with them. Why do you not care for them?
Repent.
Turn away from evil. Come back to me. My heart is longing to be with my people. Stop sinning.
Repent.
My children, I love you. I died for you. Fall on your knees, confess your sins, and
Repent.

I WILL receive you.

Repent
for the one-and-a-half million babies that were killed in abortions this year.
Repent
for allowing homosexuality in the country.
Repent
for letting the enemy remove me from the public schools.
Repent
for not feeding the hungry and not clothing the naked and not providing shelter for the wanderer.
Repent
for forgetting the families that suffered in the tsunami last year.
Repent
for ignoring their tears.

I WILL forgive you.

Why do you pretend to love me, and yet, while my heart is weeping for my people, you stand idly by, not caring? Stop it. Return to me, my child. The Kingdom of God is near.
Repent.
