God Waits In Grace With Hands Outstretched To Bless

Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins. And *we* are [his] witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him. But they, when they heard [these things], were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them. Acts 5:31-33

And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses. Luke 15:20
