Repentance

Repentance is sweet. Repent.

If you can be graceful--full of grace--you will be richly blessed.

Repent before the Lord, and then apologize to those you have harmed.

The only block to an apology is your pride. Repent of your pride. Pride cannot be trespassed against and demands retribution. Humility can turn the other cheek. Your humility will enable those who have hurt you to repent and relent as well.

You do not understand the need for repentance? Then understand this: behavior based on fear is wrong.

Repent of wanting to take control. Repent of desiring the course of action that will cause you the least possible anxiety, but will perhaps not be God's perfect will or the path of greatest blessing for those you love. Repent of desiring to be freed of your burdens at the expense of the Lord's work in the lives of your loved ones. Repent of attempting to solve problems that only God is able to solve. Repent of advising out of your own well of wisdom, and for your failure to entrust your loved ones into God's hands.

Repentance is sweet. Repent.
