Too often we are guilty of trying to clean ourselves up
and make ourselves "good" so that we will be acceptable to God— or look good in the eyes of men and that is
simply not acceptable to God! There is only way I can come to God—"Just As I Am." When we come to Him this
way, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1John 1:9). Getting back on the right
way requires a change of direction—where we stop going our way and start going His way.
When we mess it,
we need to repent. Some people think that repentance is feeling guilty, but I’ve got "bad news" for those
people: feeling guilty isn’t enough. There’s more to repentance than just feeling bad. Of course, when we sin
we do feel guilty. That’s natural. But if you feel guilty too long, you haven’t really repented. Repentance removes
guilt. When David asked for God’s forgiveness he also asked God to restore the joy of salvation.
Repentance
results in joy. If you’ve messed it, you need to get past feeling guilty and get back on the right path. Ask God to
help you change your heart, and change your mind, and change your direction.
