Day 8--God's soft spot for you

'God saw their efforts to renounce their evil ways. And God relented about the disaster which he had threatened to bring on them, and did not bring it.'

JONAH 3:10

So the people of Nineveh were being really bad and God send Jonah to tell them "You know what, that's it... I'm destroying Nineveh!!" But the people of Nineveh believed in God and repented!!! They were afraid of destruction so they turned to go and did penance: they fasted, they prayed, they put on sackcloth (very unattractive, I know).

And God saw their repentance. And He changed his mind.

God forgave them and spared them from the punishment. Why? Simply out of love-- He's got a soft spot for us when we asked him for forgiveness. 

So don't ever feel like God couldn't possibly forgive what you've done in your life--because He can and He will, if you are truly sorry.

If you need to reconcile yourself with the Lord, don't hesitate. Go to confession, seek His mercy. It's not the priest who is forgiving your sins---it is Jesus!! 

So come clean, let Jesus put you back together.
