Repentance!

 As we are born sinful, we need to know that we are sinners.  Therefore each and every person needs to repent.  

When we repent, and take Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Saviour, the Holy Spirit comes to live in us.  The Holy Spirit guides us to turn from our old ways.  The ways of the unrepentant.  The ways of the world and to become more and more like Jesus. 

This is a visible transformation.  And it should be apparent even to ourselves.  

If you are living a life that is of this world, you will not be offended by bad language or disrespect for the poor and your desires will be of this earth.

But when you are truly repentant, the things of this world become strangely dim.  And things that are offensive to our Lord become offensive to us.  Like bad language, the open display of sexuality, the disregard for the poor and the elderly.  The tolerance for immorality and the disregard for human life. 

All of these things will become hurtful to your soul and to your spirit.  The moral decay of the world becomes glaringly obvious.  The attention to monetary wealth and success becomes a little more undesirable.  Slowly you become aware that GOD wants us to lead lives that store up the treasures for ourselves in Heaven.  These are signs of a repentant heart and this is what GOD wants from us.

We need to love GOD above anything on earth.  We need to worship GOD above anything on earth.  And we need to know that our eternal lives are totally dependent upon this transformation of our souls.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER teach me obedience to YOUR ways.  Show me how to become more like Jesus each and every day.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!
