This rings a familiar bell.  I was just reading Ezekiel 18 on Wednesday!

"I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD.
 Repent and live!" (Ezekiel 18:32)

"I tell you that...there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner
 who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to
 repent." (Luke 15:7)

In Jesus' love,
