Grace for your spirit
For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter. II Corinthians 7:11
God doesn’t want us to just be sorry we got caught in our sins, He calls for us to have a godly sorrow. Godly sorrow produces repentance that leads to salvation, but it gives us so much more. As sinful people attempting to live a life of righteousness we are constantly under the microscope by others. Godly sorrow gives us a victory over such accusations, and fills us with zeal to continue our Christians walk. When we walk with the blood of Christ on our lives, we are vindicated from our shortcomings, and have a positive message of the freedom that we have in Christ. When we feel a little dull, are down in the dumps, carrying the guilt put on us by others, come to Him. Godly sorrow, and true repentance is our answer.
Philippians 4:23
