Repentance. How do you feel when you hear this word? Is it intimidating, comforting, intense, preachy? Each of us feels differently about repentance — especially when we apply it to whatever wrong we've done. This word may come across as intense, but it's actually quite gentle. When you repent, it will come from a genuine part of your heart. You are being vulnerable, applying your faith, and allowing God to take away what you can't hold onto any longer.
This was certainly true for the prodigal son. He left his father and lived without consequence, only to realize that his lavish life was catching up to him. Thinking of returning home to his father, he must have been so nervous about facing his father, but he did, and his apology wasn't grand or overdone. It was simple and straight from the heart. That's all their relationship needed to build trust again.
In the beginning, you defined "repentance." How different is your definition now? Will you take some time to repent with your new perspective?

About this Plan
Apologies — they’re hard to give, but they’re sometimes hard to receive, too. When you’re the one who has hurt someone else, saying you’re sorry (and actually meaning it) takes work and practice. But when you’re the one who’s been hurt by someone else, things get even more complicated. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll unpack apologies and forgiveness.
