To Repent Means To Realize That The

We Are Trying Not So Much To Make God Listen To Us As To Make Ourselves Listen To Him; We Are Trying Not To Persuade God To Do What We Want, But To Find Out What He Wants Us To Do. It So Often Happens That In Prayer We Are Really Saying, 'thy Will Be Changed,' When We Ought To Be Saying, 'thy Will Be Done.' The First Object Of Prayer Is Not So Much To Speak To God As To Listen To Him.

Here Is An Eternal Truth. Life Cannot Be Divided Into Compartments In Some Which God Is Involved And In Others Of Which He Is Not Involved... The Fact Is That God Does Not Need To Be Invited Into Certain Departments Of Life, And Kept Out Of Others. He Is Everywhere, All Through Life And In Every Activity Of Life. He Hears Not Only The Words That Are Spoken In His Name; He Hears All Words; And There Cannot Be Any Such Thing As A Form Of Words Which Evades Bringing God Into Any Transaction. We Will Regard All Promises As Sacred If We Remember That All Promises Are Made In The Presence Of God.

It May Well Be That The World Is Denied Miracle After Miracle And Triumph After Triumph Because We Will Not Bring To Christ What We Have And What We Are. If, Just As We Are, We Would Lay Ourselves On The Altar Of Service Of Jesus Christ, There Is No Saying What Christ Could Do With Us And Through Us.

Real Repentance Means Coming Not Only To Be Sorry For The Consequences Of Sin But To Hate Sin Itself.
