Matthew 11:20
Then he began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented.

To repent is to change the direction in which you are seeking happiness or fulfillment. Jesus went about curing people not to get rave reviews of His miracles and become a celebrity but so people could see that God wants everyone to be “whole.” Most of the people were looking for wholeness and completion in the wrong places. They were trying to find something that was missing…trying to satisfy an inner yearning for wholeness with material gain or physical pleasure. But only God could fill the hole in their hearts…could satisfy that deep, spiritual yearning for wholeness. Nearly 2000 years later…the same situation persists. A deeper connection with God is the answer. A stronger relationship with Jesus is a great way to strengthen your bond with God. All it takes is a decision that can be made again and again with each moment…to turn from the things that cannot provide our wholeness and to turn toward the only One who can. Why not now?
