Ezekiel 39:25-30
25 That is why thus says Yahweh: Now, moved by my compassion for Israel, I am going to bring back the captives of Jacob and I will give glory to my holy name. 26 They will forget their shame and the treachery they committed towards me, when they live safely in their own land with no one to disturb them. 27 When I gather them from among the nations and take them from the land of their enemies, I will show my holiness through them to many nations. 28 They will know that I am Yahweh their God when, after their exile among the nations, I bring them together in their own land and leave no one behind. 29 Never again shall I hide my face from them because I shall pour out my Spirit on Israel – word of Yahweh.”
My Beloved, it is Your compassion that saves me and those I love. We have made ourselves captive of sin and we have exiled ourselves far from home. But You promise to bring us back. You promise to forget our shame and our iniquity and You will let us dwell in safety with You. No one will approach to disturb us let alone harm us. You will reveal Your holiness through us. We, on our part, will never forget Your goodness to us. You promise to leave no one behind and You will never again hide Your Face from us but You promise to infuse us with Your own most Holy Spirit. Thank You.
These are my promises to You which I will fulfill in My time.
