God not only wants us to turn from our sins, He wants us to turn over to Him our habits, our personalities, our thinking, our worldview, our plans, or dreams, our fears.
2 Corinthians 10:5
10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
When we do this we will shine with the light of Christ and we will have the joy of Jesus.
