a penitent heart

[Amisk]

"When a man comes with a penitent heart, acknowledging himself a sinner, and puts his trust in Jesus, he will find himself suddenly freed from his sins. The sense of guilt will vanish."
Commissioner Samuel Logan Brengle D.D. O.F.
Heart Talks On Holiness

[Daniels]

Luke
18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as
his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner.
18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the
other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he
that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

[Concetta]

Repentance and forgiveness... beautiful things
