Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7: 10
Paul knew that his letter to the Corinthians caused sorrow, for no one wanted to listen to someone telling them that they were wrong. He hoped that the sorrow his letter caused could bring repentance. Godly sorrow brings repentance but worldly sorrow brings hatred, bitterness and death.
Jesus led me to think of those times that I could not catch the opportunity to do the thing as Paul did, which is to bring Godly sorrow to some people so as to lead them to repentance. Oh, we need Godly sorrow which brings repentance that leads to salvation.
How do we know that we have Godly sorrow? By the fruits! And those are the earnestness and eagerness to clear ourselves and to bring encouragement and refreshment. How much godly sorrow do people have over their pride, discouragement and bitterness?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to receive Godly sorrow that I can be more like you, and so that I can bring encouragement and refreshment to others. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
