GOD WILL LEAD US TO A PATH THAT BRINGS LIFE! 2 Corinthians 7:10-12 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. You can tell what kind of sorrow you are experiencing by looking at the fruit produced because of it. Sorrow that produces death (which will also produce sin), deceives us. It captures us in confusion and doubt about ourselves, about God, and about everything. Anxiety and fear often accompany worldly sorrow, and the result is a spiritual paralysis that corrupts all areas of our life. Godly sorrow, on the other hand, brings conviction and leads us to repentance. This type of sorrow is a tool the Holy Spirit uses to confront us about sin and enact change in our hearts and minds. Keep careful watch over the sorrow that you experience, and let God lead you down the path that brings life. Verse-A-Day
