Repentance Scriptures

I just did a small study on repentance and came up with several awesome Bible verses. I wanted to share them with you. Repentance is a very important part of my walk with God because I am so prone to making mistakes. He is so merciful! These verses are not in any order, but the truths behind them are awesome.
