The True Meaning Of Repentance by yommyuk: 6:31am On Jan 16, 2012
Repentance is not some negative, life-denying gesture. In fact, repentance doesn’t mean turning to a past way of thinking or doing at all. Repentance means turning to a new way. It means to change from what we are to what we are going to be."

In short it means start doing something good. Start practicing what you believe in.

Acts 3:19
“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.”

Colossians 1:13
“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.”


PRAYER
May God our heavenly father pardon and forgive us all our sins and transgressions. May the anger of the Lord never remain on us. May the Lord show us mercy and have compassion on us. May the Lord tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the seas. For this time forth and forever, may our name be included among those that the Lord has blessed in Jesus mighty name.
God bless wink
