Repentance to others takes time
Often it’s never enough
Wounds are too deep
For others to accept
Salt water may cleanse the wound
But healing takes patience & time
Time we don’t have
Imagination is worse than reality
Yet reality can’t be heard
Or processed
Leaving wounds open
Picking at wounds never help
Picking at scabs when close to healing
Opens everything again
Prayers go up
And up
And up
And up
Where is the faith?
Lost it along the way?
No repentance will offer resolution
Or acceptance
Or forgiveness
Maybe forgiveness comes
In just letting go
Of the wounds?
Of each other?
Of the past?
Of the hurt?
Acceptance that things will never be the same again
Regardless of forgiveness
The decision that it is done
Done done
When do the wounds heal?
What makes repentance meaningful?
When does healing come?
Mentally?
Emotionally?
Physically?
Let go and let God?
Easier said than done
Wounds ooze as they heal
The process takes time
Time is something we don’t have
Or do we?
You
Will
When
You’re
Ready
Time
It is never too late for repentance and change. That is what is great about life. It just takes vulnerability (no pride), honesty, a lot of work, and time. There is always enough time if you make change a priority. The wounds heal and become stronger scar tissue.
Repentance is about letting go of the anger and letting love back in. When I am repenting I don’t want things to be as they were before…making the same mistakes again-No thanks…I want to learn and grow…build things up to be new…stronger and better than before…making new mistakes and growing from those too. Repentance to me is about Hope for a better tomorrow and not about the Sorrow of today.
