If "my" people



2 Chronicles 7:14 (NLT)
14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

As Christians we sometimes judge other people’s sin/behavior by saying or even thinking how awful what they are doing is.  However, the scripture clearly says… if MY people turn from their wicked ways/repent.  It is in our hands to repent, be humble, pray and seek Him.  Then He will restore our land. 

Luke 24:47 (NLT)
It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’  (NLT)
