Frederick Buechner on Repentance

"To repent is to come to your senses. It is not so much something you do as something that happens. True Repentance spends less time looking at the past and saying, "I'm sorry," than to the future and saying, "Wow!"

My friend Kevin Miller pointed out that true repentance is less "turning from" and more "turning toward". I like that.
