“I gave … yet you did not return to me …

I also withheld … yet you did not return to me …

I struck … yet you did not return to me …

I sent … yet you did not return to me …

I overthrew … yet you did not return to me …

Therefore … prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”

(Amos 2:6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

Oh the patience of God!

“God’s love for poor sinners is very wonderful, but God’s patience with ill-natured saints is a deeper mystery.” (Henry Drummond)
