The Great Light of Repentance
There is nothing as important for man as Teshuvah because repentance rectifies every flaw. What's more, when a person reflects on Teshuvah each day of his life, it causes HaShem's light to illuminate all the day's of his life. The light of HaShem mercifully dispels all of the former darkness and replaces it with brilliant light, healing, and joy.
Lesson: Through the gift of Teshuvah man has the golden opportunity to correct all of his misdeeds. When man makes the effort to repent, nothing can stand in the way of the rectifying power of Teshuvah.
App: Take a little time every day to strive to better yourself in deed, thought, and speech. Envision the light of HaShem cleansing your soul and illuminating all the days of your life with His glorious light.
