When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away... Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me... Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. ~ Psalm 32:3a,4a,5a (NLT)
There is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents. ~ Luke 15:10 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Things get better when we stop doing things God dislikes, turn to him, and start thinking and doing what pleases him.PRAYER:
Gracious God, you welcome us when we turn to you. I confess, though, that I try to hold out as long as possible. My thinking is twisted and I need your help in straightening up the tangled mess I have created for myself. Help me to repent so that I can enjoy the full and rich life to which I have been called. In Jesus' name, Amen!
