Joel 2:13: 'Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.'
Tearing garments was a show of grief. God says: tear your heart instead. Real grief over sin, not performance.
Then the reason to return: who he is.
Gracious, merciful, slow to anger, abounding in love. That's the God waiting at the end of your repentance.
Whatever kept you away, his character invites you back.
