Joel 2:12-13
12 “Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” 13 So rend your heart, and not your garments; return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and He relents from doing harm."

God's constant call to us is to repent - turn away from doing what He commands not to do (sin), and turning towards Him who eagerly awaits us. A broken heart for our offending God leads us to His mercy and grace, not getting the just punishment we deserve and getting so much we could never even imagine to ask for - adoption as His sons and daughters!
