God doesn't enjoy judgment. People that celebrate when God drops the hammer make themselves as much an object of His wrath as those experiencing it. The key to avoiding a cold heart is to understand our purpose remains the same during times of mercy as they do in times of wrath. If we're to show patience towards those who are rejecting God, we should also be grieving when the time comes for them to answer for those decisions.

1. God is patient, but He's nobody's fool.

2. When God judges, He judges right.

3. Our job is to share God's heart towards this world. During judgment, that is a heart of grief.
