Can You Enjoy Repenting?

If God’s kindness is meant
To lead you to repentance” (Rom. 2:4)
I bless you to experience
The love of God that
Brings you to repentance,
So you can not only repent,
But learn to love every chance to repent!

Repent, “metanoeo” (Grk)
It means “change your mind”—
To see differently, to think differently,
To embrace truth that transforms.

Like an unbalanced child
Who lets her daddy steady her first bike ride,
Or a lost person who
Decides to invoke the GPS,
Or a double-faulting tennis player who
Decides to take a lesson,
To repent is to learn the better way
From a higher Wisdom.

It’s God’s goodness,
His kind intentions for your best,
That makes for our repentance.

So, I bless you to repent
And enjoy it!
