The word repent means literally to “turn around”. One can never get to the right place going in the wrong direction. No matter how fast one might run, how hard or how long; to get to the right place we must go in the right direction. That is why it is essential to turn around quickly when we determine that we are going the wrong way. The longer we take, the farther we must walk to get back.
Turning signal ready,
