Repentence isn't a feeling. It is an action. Remorse is a feeling. Contrition is a feeling. Repentence means taking the necessary steps to ensure that you don't commit the same sin again. If you don't do that, you haven't repented, regardless of how you feel about the sins you committed. Peter and Judas both let Jesus down in major ways. They both felt terrible remorse about their actions. But Peter turned back to the Lord, accepted forgiveness, and became the visible head of Christ's Church on earth. Judas's remorse let him to despair and to commit even greater sin. It isn't how you feel. It's what you do.

You feel joyful, blissful, and happy all the time. You are so excited about LIFE that you can't hardly sleep at night. Everything has purpose, meaning, direction. You understand who you are and who you are supposed to be. When you repent all the good promises God has made to you in the Bible all start to come true. You receive whatever your heart most truly desires in life. You begin an eternal foundation of love and peace.

When I begin to truly repent, I feel and realize that I am hot garbage before a Holy God. But after my prayers, I realize that God sees me in the same way He sees His Son, Holy and pure because I placed my faith in Jesus Christ and my sins have been wiped clean and I have been made pure. God Bless in Jesus' name.

I don't feel any way.I haven't found that passage that says "Thou shalt shed exactly 120 tears for repentance".
God said Repent....the word means to change your mind and go the other way,it doesn't mean slobbering and boo-hooing.Although some can I suppose.

It's not your FEELINGS that matter, it's what you do with it.
To "repent" means to "turn away from". It's the same word as to make a complete turn and to go the opposite way.

Cleansed. Unburdened. Forgiven. Understood. At peace. Humbled. Back in communion with God.

Relief, a freedom that comes from ackowledging truth and responsibility, remorse and sadness at having harmed another and at having let oneself down by not living up to one's spiritual ideals. Hope, that, having ackowledged responsibility, a lesson may have been learned.

regret, remorse and keenly aware. I never feel left in despair because God comes in and restores me and I feel hopeful after confessing and repenting
