Examples of Repentance

Peter

Matthew 26:75  

Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Luke 22:62  

And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Corinthians

2 Corinthians 7:9-11  

9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.

10  Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

11  See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

Thoughts on this verses..

Psalms 34:5

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

Thoughts on this verse…

We are like the moon; the glory we show is the reflection of the greater life in our lives that does not originate in us but is a blessing to others through us. Look to God for your hope, your strength, your values, your foundation, your security, and your light.

Ephesians 1:4-5

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love

5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—

Thoughts on Today's Verse....

God wants us as his holy children. That was his plan for us even before the world began. God paid the huge price of our adoption into his family — the sacrifice of his Son Jesus. God's motive in doing this? His desire and delight in loving us.
