Prayer: Basil

The Lord does not want sinners to die but wishes them to repent and find life. If you have fallen, then pick yourself up; if you have sinned, then you must repent. Do not remain on the path of sin, but get off it. Once you have corrected and have groaned in pain, then you will be saved, for it is only after sweat and toil that you can be restored to health and find salvation.

  1. As I read this, I was thinking of the interesting choice of words; then it came to me that the last sentence is a description of repentance for the change of heart does not come easily.

    1. Right. Many do not want toil and sweat. Most things in life require hard work.
