Ezekiel 5-7, Isaiah 36
What God said to me – “I AM” all-powerful and yet I can be hurt by My children when they sin against Me – when they turn to idols – when they depend upon themselves rather than Me and go their own way rather than follow after Me. As you hurt for your children and grandchildren as they do foolish things and reap the results, so I hurt for you when you do the same. You are Mine and I will never forsake you, but I will also never “force” you into obedience. You must come to Me. You must desire Me above all else. You must forsake your sin and repent.
