Repentance is an invitation to relationship. Before we can truly express sorrow for our sins and make a change in our lives, we have to acknowledge the state of our relationship with the one we may have hurt or walked away from.
Reflection Questions
How would I describe my relationship with God?
When did I first encounter the Lord?
What may be some obstacles to my relationship with God?

Week 2
Repentance is a transformative journey. We turn away from one way of life and move towards the way of life God intends for us. God's intention for our lives is not for our destruction or our unhappiness. God desires that we live in the light of His glory. God desires our peace of mind and heart. God desires that we know and own we are His beloved sons and daughters. This truth is revealed through His transforming light.
