Do You Know What Repentance Means to GOD?I can definitely say that GOD has more love for each one of us individually than any one else on earth does. So when we disobey his commandments as Jesus describes them in Matthew 5:19-48, it tells HIM we don't love HIM. Let me tell you of a child that was abused by her father over and over again throughout her childhood. She had never felt that her father loved her, she only felt that he hated her. As she grew older she only tried to forget him. But in the back of her mind she always wanted a normal healthy relationship with him. When she was a young woman her father died. She cried and cried. Her emotions surprised those closest to her that she had confided in. They couldn t understand why she was crying. They thought she d be happy. But she always thought, If only he would say I m sorry. , and started treating her like a Dad and really loved her. That s all she ever wanted from him. But it s now too late! He s dead. And that s why she was so sad and was crying. She would never hear those words nor have a normal loving, caring father-daughter relationship. GOD doesn t want any of us to perish. 2 Peter 3:9 HE has joy in the presence of HIS angels over one sinner that repents. Luke 15:10 I wonder if HE cries when one of us dies without repenting?
