I Had To Repent, Maybe You Do Too

Here’s my confession:

I stopped treading water and started trusting the One who walked on it.

If you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places, taking advice from false sources, or living for yourself, maybe it’s time to admit the one thing you haven’t done yet — repent.

Whether today is January 1st, the start of a new year, or June 14th, the middle of your exhaustion — this can be your moment. The day you stop striving and start surrendering.

Each step is a step toward freedom. Some days His assignment will challenge you; others will comfort you. But the intention is always the same — choosing Jesus, not just as Savior, but as Lord of your life.

And as you journey through these twelve revelations, hold on to this truth:

“He delights in you.”

Let those four words rest in your spirit as you walk out these next twelve steps.

1. Review the Foundation – Revisit what your faith is really built on.

2. Renew My Mind – Let Scripture reshape your thoughts and beliefs.

3. Receive the Correction – Learn to welcome the Holy Spirit’s gentle redirection.

4. Rest in His Arms – Discover the gift of mercy, Sabbath, and true rest.

5. Refresh My Soul – Practice joy, kindness, and peace in daily life.

6. Forgive Thy Neighbor – Confront hidden offenses and release resentment.

7. Give Me Authority – Step into your God-given confidence and purpose.

8. Establish New Rhythms – Create new spiritual routines of prayer and worship.

9. Stop Entertaining the Lies – Break free from trauma and self-deception.

10. Share the Good News – Live out your testimony with faithfulness.

11. Encourage Others – Use your gifts to lift and love others in Christ.

12. Remember Your Father – Return to the heart of your identity and faith.

If you’re ready to trade self-reliance for surrender, and striving for peace, this is your invitation.

Repentance isn’t punishment; it’s an invitation back into alignment with God’s perfect will.

And when you say yes — truly yes — you’ll find what I did:

Grace was waiting for you all along.
