A CONVERSATION BETWEEN GOD AND A YOUNGIE
God: Do you know that apology and repentance are two different things?
Youngie: 🤔 Really! I never thought about that. Tell me more.
God: Good. Repentance is more than just saying, "I'm sorry, God."
Youngie: You’re serious about that? But I do that many times, God 😢
God: That is why I’m here for you, dear, to correct you.
Youngie: Thanks, always. So, tell me more about it.
God: Right away, dear. Repentance is turning to Me and no longer living in your wrong ways. You can feel sorry for your sin and still refuse to change the behavior that causes you to fall.
Youngie: Yeah, 😢 I remember when I masturbated the last time—I apologized, but I still went ahead to watch some erotic videos on Facebook reels. Sometimes, I even intentionally check Korean romantic shorts on YouTube. Oh, God.
God: Yes, my dear. Many people assume they are right with Me just because they apologize after willingly sinning.
Youngie: True, God. Many times, after apologizing, I shake it off and feel like we’re good. And sometimes, I even think You understand 🤷.
God: Now, let Me tell you what My Word says about repentance.
Youngie: I’m listening, God.
God: It is humbling your heart, praying and seeking My face, turning away from wrong ways, and deliberately removing yourself from sin. You can check these scriptures: Acts 3:19, 2 Chronicles 7:14, and Isaiah 55:7.
Youngie: Hmmm!
God: Do you also know that repentance is not about shame?
Youngie: Hmmm! But I feel ashamed when I go wrong.
God: Guilt is necessary in this aspect, but if it makes you stray away from Me, that’s shame, not repentance. Shame gives the devil an opportunity to attack you. True repentance brings you closer to Me.
God: So, now you understand the difference?
Youngie: Yes, Dad. Thank You for enlightening my understanding.
God: You are always welcome, my dear 😊. Take time to pray and ask Me for forgiveness, because a broken and contrite heart I will not despise. And believe sincerely that I will forgive you.
Youngie: Prays 🙇🙇🙇
Brethren, has this blessed you? Did you know the difference before now? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Take time to seek God's face with a sincere heart.
✝️ God is not comfortable with sin, and He wants you to get rid of it—but He gives grace to say no.
