Repent?

Jonah 2:1
Repentance isn't a negative thing.
Repent literally means to "turn away" or "do a u-turn" from the things we have previously been doing (our old self).
Repentance is at the heart of New Testament Christianity.
John the Baptist (the guy who matt looks like) was the major prophet to prepare the world for Jesus (his cousin). The heart of his message was to repent and a change of life-style (Matt.3:8)
When JC began his ministry his main message was to repent (Matt.4:17)
Repentance is not negative, on the contrary, it's part of the Good News.
As we see Jonah inside his "fishy chapel", it is unclear as to whether his prayers of repentance are sincere or not.
God wants us to repent, not because He's a killjoy, but because He cares.
No matter how low we've gone, and however deep we find our selves in crap, there's always a way back.
"There's nothing you can do to make me love you any less"
Love you x
