"Repentance remains incomplete until the harm caused by the sin is repaired."

The phrase above is so far the most powerful message I have ever read. It got me disturbed about every sin I have repented on and still repenting at as if they will not completely be out of my life. I started become weary of all my efforts to be a better person, and be someone who will be forgiven. I also began worrying what I should do.

The gospel today also states that when you committed a sin, it leaves a damage to you, if you did it to yourself, or to others, if you've done it to them. I must admit - there are some wrong-doings I have committed when I was around 14 years old (the child-to-adolescent transition change), which I know had caused damages to someone, but I cannot just go to those people, open up the topic and ask for their forgiveness. Such sins happened because I wasn't aware of how God works and the kind of mindset in weighing what is right and wrong (heart and mind matter too). But such reason is not valid. I have committed sins. Period.

But even I realized these, I should not be put down by not being able to repair those damages. If I cannot repair them now, I know someday, I can do it. God will surely work His wonders for my situation. I will continue praying, repenting and acting on the words of God, and will start moving around to repair those damages I have made.

I hope that when you realize there are still damages that your sins left to yourself or to others, continue to seek God and strengthen your faith on Him, and ask Him to guide you as you plan how to repair those. God will surely hear you out and sets you off to the right way of accomplishing it.

Also, do not be burdened with this strong message - all of us might be in the same situation. But remember, when we follow God, it will make us a whole new person. And that's what matters to Him the most, for He doesn't look at your past, but He looks at how you have become after those sinful days, and how you repent and forgive.
