May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that it's the love of God that brings man into repentance. Once you embrace that love and have that fellowship with God, all those things that you shouldn't be doing will go away.
When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.
We often repent of our first thoughts, and scarce ever of our second.
Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.
Each life is unique. But for all, repentance will surely include passing through the portal of humble prayer. Our Father in Heaven can allow us to feel fully the conviction of our sins. He knows the depths of our remorse. He can then direct what we must do to qualify for forgiveness.
We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.
Repentance is accepted remorse.
Some persons do first, think afterward, and then repent forever.
It is impossible to repent of love. The sin of love does not exist.
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
