No, I know repentance in the world is understood as a regretful thing. I repent, therefore, I regret, I am remorseful. That’s not the meaning given in the Bible. The Bible is simply “a change of mind.” That’s what the word actually means literally, “to repent.” Look it up. It’s simply a radical change of mind…not a little bit but a radical change. So-and-so is not what I like, well, now suppose now other things change in her world or his world or their world, so that it favored me and I like what I see now. Well, now assume the change is taking place, and then that is a radical change of mind. As a very able educator James brought out and he said, “In his lifetime, in his generation, the greatest revolution was the discovery that by a change in attitude one could change the outer aspects of life.” And so that is what I mean when I speak of repentance. I don’t get down on my knees and pray, I don’t feel remorseful, I simply do something about it. Of course, many of us become so lost in the feeling of hurt, we do nothing about it. In fact, we don’t want to do anything about it. Some people dislike someone and you say, “You know, you could really like them.” “But I don’t want to.” They really mean it, they don’t want to. But they could actually change the attitude of that one relative to themselves, and then they would really like them. But we’re living in such a fabulous world where everything is possible. If I told you the stories that I receive day after day; some would make you sick and some would lift you to the heavens. I got a call today from New York City…and we think, well now, we have problems…and problems, simply a lack of money or something. Well, here’s a lady who calls me and, well, she’s really rejoicing. She’s the first wife. The other one has been married now…it’s her second who married her husband. She divorced him after she saw this relationship and now he dies suddenly this week. Now her request is—-she has millions and millions—-her request is when the will is read her two sons will have it all…yet he has sons by the second. Well, I could not hear one thing about that, I couldn’t pray for that. I could just talk to her on the telephone and kid her along, but could I really pray for a thing like that? But she thinks calling…”Alright, you call him, he’ll push a button.” Well, I can’t push a button that way because it doesn’t appeal to me…whether the second, Marie, got him and now will get his maybe twenty-odd millions he will leave. And so…but she has her millions and her two sons they will have theirs. So what would you do in a case like that? And we think we have problems! With all of her millions she still has a desire for more. If you had her jewelry you could open the most fabulous store right here in the most fashionable neighborhood. Invite her to dinner and she comes through the door wearing $150,000 worth of jewelry on her, and I mean $150,000. These are pieces that are simply out of this world. I’ve seen pieces that Tiffany’s offered at $50,000 for one piece. She doesn’t wear it all on her, and she’s not laden. May I tell you, when she comes through the door, they are so valuable…it’s always in perfect taste…just one pendant hanging around the neck, couple of rings, couple of earrings, and just these few pieces, and $150,000 stands before you. And she calls about money!761 ¶36
