Repentance is a difficult things sometimes. I sometimes have thought that I have not done it well. but I think this has to be balanced with trust. We have to trust that God will forgive us if we repent whether we repent well enough or not. I think then as we return to a guilt free (as much as possible) way of relating to God, His love for us will provide us greater insight. His love is greater than our weakness, including our inability to repent fully - it has to be or we are well and truly hopeless. the whole point of Jesus coming to earth is to help us. It was clear we couldn't reach God's standards on our own. <BR/><BR/>I think the idea of exploring this in a novel is great. whatever stage the reader is at on this journey, your story can only be positive even if it is frustrating. the reader might ask them selves why.<BR/><BR/>thanks again. best wishes and happy easter.<BR/> anonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
