4 Quick Thoughts on the Good Fruit of Keeping Repentance:
1- Rhythmic Repentance is a discipline of self awareness and sensitivity to the Spirit of God... oftentimes we won’t allow ourselves to repent and ever experience true forgiveness or surrender our own opinions and ideas enough for true change.
2- Repentance is turning around; and changing your mind. If you're not willing to turn from the direction you're going and change the mindsets you have, it's not repentance, it's just a coping mechanism.
3- The hidden fruits of repentance are humility, sincerity, and authenticity of your personhood.. The greatest place you can find yourself in christ is open handed and open hearted.
4- We will never graduate from a lifestyle of repentance, we will only grow in a heightened awareness of our need for it in day to day life and relationships… The fuel of accelerated growth and renewal, is a life of repentance.
