Repentance is the most positive, uplifting, empowering experience you'll ever have. When you repent, all the obstacles between you and God's fullness are broken into pieces.
When you repent of your sin -- whether it is the first time or the five-hundredth time -- all of heaven rejoices. [Luke 15:10]
When you repent, the past is put away, it is erased, it is forgotten. Do we deserve this? Absolutely not. But it is God's gift to all who will ask.
When you repent, God can begin working in your life again, using you, blessing you, comforting you, empowering you.
This is why Peter spoke these words in the book of Acts: "Repent, then, and turn to God, so your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." (Acts 3:19)
Times of refreshing. That's what we all need. Are you ready for God to restore you? Do you want to wash away the past? Do you want God to comfort you and strengthen and bless you with his goodness? Then don't let any sin -- no matter how big or small it may seem -- to stand in your way.
Give yourself fully to him, and let him do his work in you.
