The Benefit of Godly Sorrows

Scripture 2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

Observation: Most of my life I dealt with the sorrows of this world living in self-pity. My thoughts were full of gloom and doom and I wasn’t able to shake the misery. Now if I feel sorrowful it’s because I’ve done something wrong towards God and when I realize it, I can repent, learn and start anew. I need direction in my life and God is willing to direct me.

Application: I need to stay focused on my Lord and what He desires for me. If I get off track and do something against Him, I need that reminder to ask forgiveness and turn from that way to get back where God wants to lead me. I’ll never be perfect or even close but each day is a day to be better.

Prayer My Lord thank you for your continuous grace and guidance in my life. Guide me this day to stay on the course you have chosen for me and that I will be obedient to all you call me to do. I love you and want to be the best for you.
