Joel
Burlap, ashes, and torn clothing were mark of the repentant sinner, but Joel tells us that God desires something different... saying don't tear your clothes in grief, but tear your hearts instead. God has never and will never need our sacrifices, but he desires that we turn over our very being to his will... rending our hearts so that our will is purged and his will becomes supreme. And if we turn to him... he will be sure to forgive for his is slow to anger and quick to forgive... abounding in mercy. Praise God!
