Repentance is a 180 degree turn.  Why is saying, "I'm sorry, I messed up" so difficult?  Why don't we want to repent?  What blessings are we missing because we will not bow?  Because we will not repent?  Because we will not say with true sorrow, "We are sorry?"  Jesus is the perfect sacrifice and the only way to God.  He paid a great price for our forgiveness and for our righteousness.  To access that repentance is required.  Daily, regular repentance of sin.  We've heard it said that we should stop repenting.  No - - not so.  Repentance is for our benefit and for our good.
