“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)
