Repent

Jesus’ first message in the Gospels, usually translated, “repent,” “convert,” “reform” is the Greek word metanoia, literally meaning “change your mind.” Has your mind changed on any important matters of faith, culture, religion or politics? If not, you might ask yourself what place repentance has in your life. Change is inevitable to growth. If we’re not changing, we aren’t growing. Learn from animal and plant life. If they don’t change and adapt to new circumstances they become extinct.
