Not Slow at All

II Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Here’s a picture of the Father we have. A true one, that we all need to see and know when we’ve done someone wrong or sinned, and we know it.  When we feel that guilt, shame, and embarrassment over messing up, we need to know this about God.

He’s not slow – but he’s patient – and his heart is that none should miss out on living in his presence.

We cannot experience his presence unless we repent of sin, because he is holy.

Repentance with godly sorrow is the most rewarding kind of sorrow we can have in this life, because it leads to life.

And that’s the truth.
