Where repentance is needed

Contrition, repentance, acknowledgement of personal
responsibility and sorrow over sin should never
include massive self-hatred and total self-rejection.
God's conviction points to a specific sin, it is
sharp and accurate, going straight to the point where
repentance is needed. Truly understanding this principle
will lead you into freedom from your past so you can
serve God and His people without the fetters of
constantly looking behind.
