About This Quote

What the pundits call wishy-washiness, the Bible calls repentance. We hear a lot of people talking about the retraction of an important decision or a change of heart, but we don’t hear as much as we should about how people change as a result of their mistakes. When people admit their mistakes and vow to never make those mistakes again, they are showing a level of humility and selflessness that few people have. Humility is something that is harder to come by these days, but if we can start this trend today, we will all be better off in the long run.
