About This Quote
When we repent by grace, we shall receive times of refreshing from God. When we come to God with a broken and contrite heart, admitting our sins and asking the Lord for forgiveness, the Lord will give us a period of time when we can be with Him. This is the only way to have true repentance. It is not enough to wish you were better or feel guilty.
You must come to God in humility and tell Him your sins as He requires. He will give you a period of time spent with Him so that you can begin to build your relationship back up with Him.
