Your Word for 12 December 2024

John 15:11
‘I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.’

The tree of repentance has three major branches:

REMORSE: this involves a feeling of regret for a sin or a wrong committed.

2 Corinthians 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

RESTITURIONS: this is the act of restoring or giving back to its proper owner or of making reparation to a person for loss or injury inflicted.

Luke 19:8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”
