” ‘Even now,’ declares the Lord” [Joel 2:12(NIV)]

” ‘Even now,’ declares the Lord”. However far you may have gone from the Lord, ‘even now’ you can start coming back. Despite the persistent sin of His people and their continual desire for other gods, the Lord called them back to Himself and gave them another opportunity to be under His blessing.
If things have gone badly wrong in your life and you wonder if there is a way back to God, however deep the pit in which you find yourself, God’s love is deeper still. ‘Even now’ you can turn to Christ in repentance and know forgiveness and restoration. Joel reassures the people of the Lord’s graciousness, compassion and love and of His offer of salvation to all. So come, ‘even now’ as the Holy Spirit urges you, to the Lord Jesus and receive the welcome, forgiveness and restoration that He alone can give.
