To “repent” and turn back, does not mean to forsake all hope of abundant living and resign oneself to sackcloth and ashes. It means to turn from the “broad way” of worldly pursuits that feed the hungers of the human man but starve the soul. It means to realize that life is lived from within out, and to determine to “cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also” (Matt. 23:26).
