When God Breaks Me

"Repent!  The kingdom of heaven has come near!"  (Matthew 3:2)
What do I do when someone confronts me with the truth?  Am I willing to notice where and when I am wrong?  Will I repent?

To "repent" means to change my mind and, also, to change the way I am living.  It's probably the most difficult thing anyone can do.  But when the truth of God comes, then I must repent, even if I look like a fool for changing my mind.

It needs to be God's truth, however, that breaks me.  Otherwise I will stand firm.

  1. Thank you for this great little post. Sometimes less is more. Truth is often muddied with rationalization, excuses, and ignorance it seems. I think we forget that there IS right and wrong, which is tough, considering we live in a world of "gray" where we are given the opportunity to fudge the lines too much.
