Hear me, oh Israel. Come back to me. Don't spit in my face. Remember my grace? I cry out to you. I am the voice in the wilderness. Why are you so full of bitterness? I love you. Can't you see that? Can't you believe that? I want you. I need you. I need you to draw others in. I can't do this on my own. I need your help just like you need mine. Let's be a team. I need you to find my lost sheep. Stop wallowing away in your self pity. There's no time for that. Can't you see that time is running out? But your heart is so full of doubt. I can't make you believe in me. You must make that choice for yourself. Remember my promises. Remember that I am your lord your god. I made you. I made you beautiful. I gave you bread and water plentiful. Did I not rescue you from captivity? Did I not set you free? Did I not cover you in a cloud by day and fire by night? I have led you out of darkness and will continue holding your hand through this life. But I need you to do the same for those who do no right. I need you to lead others to me. I need you to bring me more. Stop questioning every bad thing that happens, and focus on the good that comes from it. This is not a drill. This is not a test. I need you now and not yet for the kingdom is at hand. Take others into the promised land. And know that I gave you my son of man to bring you closer to me. Do you not know the lengths to which I will go to get your attention and affection? Heed my voice and listen. Act quickly. For the time has come for you to decide. Which side? Which god? Which team?
