Repentance Is a Process

Something I thought bout this morning is that repentance is a process. Repentance means change, and change takes time. It's not a once-and-done kind of thing. It's something we have to keep working at as we gradually change. I can't fully say that I've repented of my sins, because I'm still changing for the better. I'm still improving, and I still have room for improvement. I suppose it's fair to say that I have changed, and thus have repented, but it's far more true to say that I am changing, that I am repenting. It's not a matter of a single pray or a single commitment or "resolution." Repentance is a process of change. Until we're done changing, we're not done repenting.
