The Kindness of Repentance
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that His kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
Romans 2:4 (NLT)
Thought
All of us have knowingly and willingly disobeyed God, yet He responds to us with love. He’s slow to get angry and quick to forgive—what a blessing! May this grace and mercy transform our hearts and minds.
Prayer Practice
Pause
Take a moment to reflect on how patient (or impatient) you are with those you love. Then think about how vast God’s patience is with us.
Rejoice
Thank God for the undeserved kindness, grace and mercy He’s shown you. Be specific when you can.
Ask
Ask God to transform you by renewing your mind (Romans 12:2) and creating a loyal spirit within you (Psalm 51:10).
Yield
Let God grant you freedom from the sin struggle you've been wrestling with.
