Scripture: Joel 2:13 KJV – “…rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God…”
Feel Spiritually Distant?
Sometimes we can attend church, say prayers, or post scriptures and still feel disconnected from God. That empty feeling—like you’re going through the motions without power or peace—can quietly grow. Life gets busy. Sin creeps in. We feel guilty, ashamed, or even numb. You wonder, “Why don’t I feel close to God anymore?” That spiritual distance can make you feel disqualified, unloved, or stuck.

The Solution: Return with Your Heart, Not Just Your Hands
 Joel 2:13 KJV  “And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.”
The Israelites were known for outward religious rituals like tearing their clothes, but God wanted something deeper. He said, “Rend your heart, and not your garments.”
True repentance isn’t about being dramatic—it’s about being honest. It’s not just saying sorry; it’s turning back to your first love. It’s remembering who God is: merciful, gracious, and full of compassion. When we turn from sin and return to God, He restores what was broken. He doesn’t shame you—He welcomes you.
Takeaway: God’s Presence Is One Turn Away
No matter how far you’ve drifted, God hasn’t changed His mind about you. He still wants to walk with you, speak to you, and restore you. All it takes is a willing heart.
Don’t wait for a perfect moment. Make today your turning point. Repentance leads to restoration, clarity, and joy. It’s not just for the lost—it’s for all of us who want to stay close to the Shepherd.
