Ezekiel 36
Throughout the Old Testament, you can read about how sinful Israel was - yet God restores.
Key things I need to remember is that God's patience is not unlimited - God reserves the right to punish me. Also, everything He does is for HIS glory....not for me. My Prayer: Lord, Your works and Your will are perfect. I have seen and witnessed Your work in my life and I am amazed. You are also so patient and merciful with me. I am not deserving of such blessing and patience. I fail to love You with all of my heart mind and soul. Thank You that You love me anyway but please forgive me for my weakness and failings. Encourage and energize me. Give me strength. Help me be the man You intend for me. Help me glorify You.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. v26

27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices. 32 I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel! v27-32
