Dear ones, repentance opens the door to the fulfilment of God’s promises to us. Repentance removes the barriers that separate us from God. Repentance is in fulfilment of God’s will that we will be reconciled to Him. Remember, we pray in the Lord’s Prayer: 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven'. As such, when we pray these words, we are reminding ourselves of the need for us to repent and to be reconciled to the Father.
