Repentance

The last couple of weeks have been the slow dawning of a painful recognition that I need to make some changes. By this evening, I have quit feeling sorry for myself and am coming round to being willing to work on it. I’m thankful for Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice than gave me the opportunity to change and the power to change. I’m grateful to not be doing this alone.

“True education is a form of repentance. It is a humble admission that we’ve not read all that we need to read, we don’t know all that we need to know, and we’ve not yet become all that we are called to become. Education is that unique form of discipleship that brings us to the place of admitting our inadequacies. It is that remarkable rebuke of autonomy and independence so powerful and so evident that we actually shut up and pay heed for a change.” – George Grant
