Jonah 2:1-10, 1 John 1:9, Matthew 12:40, Proverbs 28:13, Psalm 86:5

The Lord is gracious with us. He does not use force for us to ask for forgiveness, but with his gentleness, he reminds us of a time when we had a peaceful and close relationship with him to bring our hearts back into repentance.

I encourage you to ask God for forgiveness, no matter where you are physically located. If you are alive today, you have a chance to reconcile with the Father. He is always ready to hear our repentant hearts.

Jonah was in this big fish or whale for three days and three nights and was submerged in water and debris of the sea. In his moment of distress, Jonah asked God to forgive him, and God heard his cry for help. So, it is with us today. God is not far away; he is right here with us. We do everything in his presence while living on this earth, for nothing is hidden from him.

Ask God for forgiveness today; he will reconcile your life and change your trajectory completely.
