You are who you are. Apologizing because you're caught red-handed means little. You have not changed. Your apologies may mean something to you, and to those who love you, and to those who love what you do - so as to believe everything you skillfully say - but they mean nothing to those who seek out what is true, and they certainly mean nothing to God. Repentance, true repentance, is through deed first and foremost. You are who you truly are, and you have not yet changed.

One important thing to note about God's lessons is that you never have to worry about them or fear their arrival. You never see them coming and you never have any idea of what to expect. If you can expect them, then they are not lessons - not from God anyway.

The exception to this, of course, is when you have destructive behavioral patterns or maintain and repair destructive systems. Your lessons would then be the consequences of your own actions - which you would see coming, even years in advance.

The point: "For God spoke to me with God's power, and told me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 'Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. It is God whom you are to regard as holy.'" ~ Isaiah 8

If I could be so bold to add to Isaiah's message: If they find out that you do not fear what they fear, in the same manner that they fear it, you will be ridiculed, judged, persecuted, and condemned.
