We are constantly changing, becoming and hopefully growing toward maturity. If we are truly becoming mature we are taking responsibility for our own actions. We do not stop with confessing our past wrongs and failings, but we live a daily repentance, i.e., putting into place behavior changes based on new light. As we do, we are creating better habits for further transformation and growth. We ask the Holy Spirit to empower our wills to make choices toward growth and maturity.
“Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.” Hebrews 6:1 (NASB)
