"And tear your heart and not your garments.” Now return to Yahweh your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness, and relenting concerning evil.
Joel 2:13

We should not be surprised when an unregenerate soul yields easily to a temptation that promises carnal pleasure or profit. Those without Christ have no armor with which to repel the enemy's attack; they know nothing of His sweetness. So it is natural that they–for want of better food–would sit at the devil's table.
William Gurnall, 1655

🕯 to know Him is to love Him to love Him is to obey Him. These three things (knowing, loving, obeying) are overlapping and congruent in relationship with God. He wants our hearts.
