Repentance

Acts 3:19 (NIV)
19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,




I think I need to take time to repent more often--time to turn toward the God who loves me even when I am unlovable.

There are days in my life when I am unlovable (at least that is how is seems to me).  It is a day when I am depressed and nothing is going the way I had visioned it would be--you've had those days haven't you?  Sure, we all have them.  The question is what do we do about them?  Do we just let it go on and hope that it will pass?  Do we stop and fall on our knees before God and pray for complete healing or at least a better outlook?  How do we handle those unlovable days?

I wish I had the answer to all those questions--but I do not.  I just know that I am a sinner in need of a savior, a redeemer, a friend, a healer, a comforter, a peace maker, a crutch or a prop--the trouble is I have all that in my Lord Jesus through the work of God's Holy Spirit.  I suppose today, this minute, I need to turn and pray that God's love will cover me and through God's grace I will be saved and God will give me the strength to go forward for God's glory.
