Starting Afresh with God #1: Repentance



I regret the hours I have wasted
And the pleasures I have tasted
That you were never in
And I confess that though your love is in me
It doesn't always win me
When competing with my sin

And I repent
Making no excuses
I repent
No one else to blame
And I return
To fall in love with Jesus
I bow down on my knees
And I repent

I lament the idols I've accepted
The commandments I've rejected
To pursue my selfish end
And I confess I need you to revive me
Put selfishness behind me
And take up my cross again




The words might be from a song but I mean every word in the lyrics. I am starting anew with God and I know it is the wisest decision ever. I don't take falls as death but as correction. I don't take loss as the end but as an opportunity to receive much more than I previously had. 


I thank God for everything that has happened and I am humbled I had to go through what I went through. 


“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, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” Acts 3:19-21

Stay Blessed!
