What Is My Sorrow

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7:[10] Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

Observation: Most of the things that bring me sorrow are things of the world. I still worry about so many things and my mind is focused more on the things of the world then the things of God and they do bring me death. Death of my spirit, of hope and strength. I now teach a class and the main point is to trust God and live a life for Him and I’m not setting a very good example.

Application: I need to feel sorrow when I don’t do the things that God desires me to do. I need to repent of my evil ways and ask God to direct me in the path He wants me to follow. My sorrow should only come from not doing God’s will in my life and treating His children with the love and respect that He deserves from me.

Prayer: My Lord give me a heart that will break for the things of you. Give me the wisdom, courage and strength that it will take to serve you in a way pleasing to you. Break my heart when I don’t follow your guidance.
