Repentance is not something you do to become saved, it's something you do because you are saved.

1 Timothy 1:15-17

The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." ~ Romans 12:1

Very good reminder and the way to live the abundant life He's blessed us with! 💛

But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun.; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic monotony that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never gotten tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.

Isaiah 33:2 (ESV)

O LORD, be gracious to us; we wait for you.

Be our arm every morning,

our salvation in the time of trouble.

Searching for meaning? A purpose? The answer is as simple as it is wondrous. God gave mankind dominion over this earth. We are here to take care of it. Every one of us has a gift - or gifts! - we are meant to use in order to leave this place better than how we found it. Pick up litter. Preach to the lost. Volunteer. Be a doctor or an artist or a shoulder to cry on. You're here for a reason.
