Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.
—Matthew 3:8 (NLT)
Father God,
May the way that I live be evidence of my repentance for my sins—my decision to leave my old ways behind and to turn and run to You.
Save me from the hypocrisy of claiming that I have repented of my sins, when there is no visible proof of my claim to be found in the way that I live my life.
Instead, help me show others—by the way I live my life—that I have been changed, been set apart to do Your will, and that I am submitted to Your plan and purpose for my life.
Let the best evidence of this change in me be seen in the way that I love others—with all the compassion, kindness, patience, mercy, forgiveness and grace that only Christ can give.
May the way that I live be evidence of my repentance for my sins—my decision to leave my old ways behind and to turn and run to You.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
