What does it mean to repent? Well it is a turning away from something and a turning to God. We often think of ourselves as one complete being that turns all at one time. When in reality we need to do a bunch of little turns in many different areas of our lives. The big turn is when we turn to Jesus as our Savior and then all the little turns are as we realize that He is also Lord. So we spend time submitting and repenting of all the areas of ourselves that we have not submitted to His authority. Lent is a great way to cast of the things in life to focus on the greatness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
