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, 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 will, plan and purpose for my life.
May 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 which can only come through Christ.
May the way that I live be evidence of my repentance for my sins—my decision to leave my old ways behind, to turn, and run to You.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
