I'm so thankful that other Christians get this about repentance. It's not a dirty word, it brings us closer to the Lord. Because he said in
Isaiah 59:2 (Our sin separates us from him) And I'm so thankful to the Holy Spirit that he convicts me of my sin and lets me know I've sinned. This way I can repent right away and receive the forgiveness I need. And yes, it is humbling to have to admit that I've failed the Lord once again. But, I am thankful that the Lord is so merciful and gives us so much help to be able to make it to the end. I want to say, this forum is truly a breath of fresh air for me. I wish the local Church body could interact the way yall do on here!
