Repentance

2 Corinthians 12:21 

21 I am afraid that when I come again, my God may humiliate me before you, and I will grieve for many of those who previously sinned and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and licentiousness that they have practiced.

 

 

“To mourn for those who have not repented.” Oh, so many!

Where should I start my Lord ... with my church family?

It seems I tried for so long ... and there seem to be not any

who are turning to you ... even in my “Dutch” hierarchy.

 

You blessed me far beyond my dreams in the children you entrusted

You raised them well my Lord ... despite my interference.

My focus on the world ... and the survival in it

blinded me so often ... in acceptable coherence.

 

And now back to the many ... who has not repented?

In the human family ... there so few I've known in it.

You make no exceptions for what you state is here

and it is not optional ... to accept only when it fits.
