Journey of repentance 1
Bible verses: Gen 3 & Matt 4:1-17
Sin sneaks in. We get used to it. It feels like part of us. We identify with sin & lose who we really are.
We blame, hide, never wanting to be truly seen. We lose relationship with God & each other.
Sadly, we all sin (Rom 3:23)
An utter mess!
But thank God for Jesus (Rom 7:23-25).
Jesus' first message was: 'repent for the kingdom of heaven has come near'

This week, spend time each day with God, allowing Him to shine His light on you.
What attitudes, resentments & habits have you cultivated? What things dominate your thoughts, actions, time & finances? What are you ignoring?
Allow God to reveal where you have let pockets of sin form.
Confess your sin to God.
Repent. Choose to permanently turn away from your sin & towards God.
Is there an action God is asking of you? Is there a physical thing, social media or subscription service to remove or perhaps an apology to make. Do what God is telling you.
Let's dwell in & on God's word. It sustained Jesus through those intense 40 days of temptation. Let it sustain you!
