Repentance

Have you ever felt like your life was being overtaken by clutter, toys, or treasured belongings? Overrun by schedules, noise or distractions? It often feels like we need to literally and figuratively figuratively clean house. Sometimes, in the loud and consumerative self-serving culture in which we find ourselves, things can easily take over and push aside the very important priorities we said are most important to us.

Within our lives, it's often very difficult to make room and create space for God. The small and seemingly insignificant disciplines that build our lives and our relationship with Jesus can get pushed aside.

The primary way that we can make room for God is to turn aside from our idols and sin and turn to God through repentance. Repentance makes a way for God's work in us and through us. There is joy in being received by God, but there is also a Godly sorrow that comes before a change of heart.

Repentance enables us to make room for God and enables the removal of old ways of living and things that don't align with the Kingdom of heaven.

Repentance requires acknowledgement and change. What is it that has kept you distant from God? I'll leave you with Matthew 4:17
