REPENTANCE:
Godly sorrow which brings about a desire and effort to change one's mind
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
[ II Corinthians 7:10 ]
SATANIC LIE:
You said you would change before and you didn't.
You're only going to do the same things and be the same way.
THE TRUTH
I can change.
I will change.
Because HE has made a change in my life,
I AM CHANGED!
