Do you know people who often say they're sorry for something but later end up doing the same thing repeatedly? In other words, their apology didn't mean anything because they had no intention of ever changing who they were or what they did. Too many times, people walk around apologizing for this and apologizing for that, but deep down, it's full of junk. Whenever you take in junk, all you give out is junk. Let me say it this way. Whenever you put junk words and junk meaning into your spirit, you'll speak junk in return. For many people who go around using the phrase 'I'm sorry' without meaning it, perhaps, they're sorry themselves. Whatever you do, make sure that your apology is sincere and heartfelt.
In this life, I've discovered that the word 'repent' is foreign to many people. It's foreign because it requires a person to look within himself or herself to correct what's wrong. You need to know repentance is more than talking about what you're going to do; it's actually doing it. Repentance is the act of turning away from your sins (wicked ways) and turning toward God. Repentance means turning away from being unproductive to becoming productive. It means distancing yourself from certain things and certain people who are harming you and bringing you down. Repentance is a choice you have to make in order to live right and be all that God has called you to be. Repentance opens the door to possibilities that are beyond your control.
