Sincere biblical repentance is as much a work of grace as not sinning in the first place. To err is human, to make progress is divine.

The only chains God wants us to wear are the chains of righteousness--not the chains of hopeless subjectivism, not the shackles of risk-free living, not the fetters of horoscope decision making--just the chains befitting a bond servant of Christ Jesus. Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God's glory.

God's timing is rarely our timing.

We do not truly know what love is unless we know Christ.
