Ezekiel 18:23,32

"Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?" declares the sovereign Lord. "Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? ... For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone," declares the sovereign Lord. "Repent and live!" Ezekiel 18:23,32

I was reading someone's blog a few days ago (someone from MOG, I think?), and she was talking about the Lord not being a nasty little person just waiting around for the chance to smite people. So when this came up in my random quotes, it caught my attention.

I love that. "I take no pleasure in the death of anyone. Repent and live!" That's so much more like what God is like.
