True repentance means not going back to the filth of  sinfulness. You should commit not to return to the sinful activities and  worship God as much as possible. One may not lose hope in God&#8217;s mercy  and there is always a chance to correct oneself. <\/p>\n<div>May God accept your true resolve to follow the path of His liking and accept your pleadings for forgiveness.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-03<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6867\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have lived a life full of  sins.
