The spiritual definition of repentance is to ask God to forgive you and then turn toward Him. I don’t know about you, but when I ask for forgiveness, but I forget about turning toward Jesus, I make the same mistakes over and over again. I need to always turn toward Jesus and through His Word and prayer walk as close to Him as I can.
“We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Discipline weighs ounces, but regret weighs tons. Every day, you are choosing which one you will carry.” (Jim Rohn)
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. (Acts 3:19)
….”the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him.”
(2 Chronicles 30:9b)
