Tragedy
forms troubling images in our minds because it can be so painful. Most people tolerate
tragedy and eventually heal from its wounds, but consider those who invite tragedy by refusing to change
certain attitudes and behaviors. They have an inner tenacity to hold on to a way
of life, regardless of the destruction it produces.
Repentance is sincere remorse for sin and is accompanied by a desire
to forever change old behavior patterns. God creates in those who truly repent an unrelenting desire to avoid the sin that's so easily besetting. God constructs
in each of us a resilience to fight off sin and its consequence.
God, through Christ Jesus, creates in
us a new person equipped with His armor to manage tragedies we will face. Repentance
is a deep-seated regret for sin and opens the way for God to renew a right
spirit within us. God is constantly giving
you strength to survive and the capacity to change, so give thanks and praise
to him.
