TURN TO GOD

To the penitent God provides a way back he encourages those

who are losing hope and has chosen for them the lot of truth.
Return to him and give up sin, pray to the Lord and make your
offences few. Turn again to the Most High and away from your sin,
hate intensely what he loathes, and know the justice and judgments
of God, stand firm in the say set before you in prayer to the Most
High God who in the nether world can glorify the Most High
in place of the living who offer their praise before death ....
Sir. 17:20-24
