The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.
Watchman NeeRepentance means a change of mind. Formerly, I thought sin as a pleasant thing, but now I have changed my mind about it. Formerly, I thought the world an attractive place, but now I know better. Formerly I regarded it miserable business to be a Christian, but now I think differently. Once I thought certain things delightful, now I think them vile. Once I thought other things utterly worthless, now I think them most precious. That is a change of mind, and that is repentance.
Watchman NeeFrom the evening I was saved, I began to live a new life, for the life of the eternal God had entered into me.
