Repent

What does God mean when He demands that I repent of my sins?

Repent means to regret, to say sorry, to ask for forgiveness. 

God means more.

He wants His child to see the reality of the sin nature and to abhore it.  He wants the utter realization of personal sin and that each person CANNOT reach the pure holy God without the blood sacrifice of Jesus, the perfect unblemished sacrifice.  I must not only regret my sin, but I must know that the only path into the holy presence of God is by the narrow gate provided by Jesus, Savior, Master, Beloved.

Repent means to turn completely from sin and live a life dedicated to Jesus allowing Him complete control.  Such easy words to type, yet extremely difficult to live.  Each day I must WILLINGLY sacrifice my choices and wants to those of the Father and ask for His direction.  Like the woman at the well, I seek to find the reality of life through the Anointed One, Jesus the Christ, Messiah, Savior.

Please Lord pour your living water into my soul that I may bloom where you place me. 

 Refresh your spirit with the Living Water of Jesus.

Isaiah 40:31

Those who hope (trust, depend on, believe) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,  they will will walk and not be faint. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your path straight.(Proverbs 3:5-6) Blessed be the name of the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord always.

Where have you been?

 Have you asked that question of friends, family, classmates, the doctor, the minister, or maybe a complete stranger? BUT have you bothered to ask "Where have you been?" of your relationship with the Most High Triune Lord God?  The Creator of the Universe wants to have a living relationship with you in a one to one time of communication.  In the old song, we are reminded that God is waiting for us to actually speak to him as a person speaks to other humans.  June Deniece William s and Miles C. Austin write:                                     I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses,                                     and the voice I hear falling on my ear,                                 ...
