How long should you repent?
Until it has run its course in you. The full course of repentance involves producing the fruit of repentance. (Matthew 3:8) Keep repenting of pride until you see humility. Keep repenting of selfishness until you see love and generosity. Keep repenting of immorality until you see purity. Don’t just repent for your sins, repent that you are a sinner. Remember, although Satan seeks to destroy you, Jesus is praying that your faith may not fail. If you will doggedly hold on to that kernel of faith, Jesus will win!
“The eye cannot see, nor can the tongue tell
Nor can the heart imagine
How many paths and methods I have
Solely for love
To lead them back to grace
So that my truth may be realized in them.”
