2 Peter 3:8-9

God wants no one to perish but all of us to have eternal life with Him through Jesus Christ.  Dear Lord please help me to share Your mercy and compassion  for all of Your creation and to be Your hands and heart to a dying world.

God will surely accomplish His purposes and promises, even though it may appear that He is slow in doing so. His timing is always perfect. Here Peter is describing the sovereign God’s desire that all people would turn to Him and turn away from unprofitable lives.

2 Peter 3:8-9                                                                                                               

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
