I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. (Hosea 11:9)
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (Romans 5:10)
Charles Spurgeon

Your humility in recognizing the need for forgiveness and your gratitude for God's undeserved love are testimony to His work in your life.

Francisco Diaz S.: The Lord God Almighty is merciful to the righteous, to the humble who recognize their faults and repent, and to all who sincerely seek Him. But He is severe with the wicked, those who practice evil, sorcerers and wizards, and with all those who with their pride pretend to be like God.
What a profound reflection, Francisco Díaz S. It is true that our God is merciful and loving toward those who humble themselves, acknowledge their faults, and sincerely seek His face. On the other hand, Scripture teaches us that God is just and severe toward those who persist in evil and stray from His path. It is important to remember that His love and justice go hand in hand, and that He longs for all to turn to Him in repentance and humility. In the Charles Spurgeon devotional you shared, we see the reminder that God, despite His righteous anger, offers forgiveness to those who turn from sin and draw near to Him. As mentioned in Hosea 11:9, our God is holy and patient, willing to forgive those who repent: "For I am God, and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath." May these truths encourage us to seek God’s mercy and forgiveness with humility and sincerity, always trusting in His love and justice. Blessings, Francisco Díaz S.!
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: I am aware that I was a lost sheep, a sinner, I am sorry and I ask forgiveness for all the offenses I committed against God and against other people, I ask God to go well with my projects, to generate thousands of jobs for poor families, so that they have sustenance for their children and their elderly parents, so that children do not go to crime and end up in jail, amen.
What a beautiful example of repentance and humility, Sabino Marroquín López. Recognizing our condition as sinners and seeking God's forgiveness is a courageous and transformative step.

Charles Spurgeon's devotional highlights the patience and forgiveness that God offers to those who repent and seek His face. As mentioned in the text, God is patient and forgives those willing to confess and turn away from sin. May the phrase "I will not destroy Ephraim again" (Hosea 11:9) remind you of the mercy of God who is always willing to forgive and restore those who come to Him with a contrite heart. May your desire to do good be abundantly blessed by our Lord. May God be with you in your projects, Sabino Marroquín López!
