“…Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?” (Rom 2:4-5 NKJV)
All of us can remember a time when we should have received a well-deserved punishment for something, but instead, we were shown kindness! It's not that we got away with anything, but rather, we were being led to something! By His goodness, God leads us through our mistakes and misjudgments to the place of repentance! Don’t misjudge His kindness!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your goodness that leads us to true repentance. Help us to always recognize and never misjudge your kindness. Amen!
2 Peter 3:9. . . .The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. NIV
