“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭10‬

Psalms 32: 3: When we sin, that small voice inside will bother us. But, when we pray to our Father, and admit our sin, God who loves us will understand.  “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I remember vividly when this scripture was given me. I was in Dallas, Texas, my husband had died, I had sold our home, and was now living in an apartment closer to where I worked.  I was lonely and confused about the world wind of happenings of heartbeats surrounding me.  I remember going to my bedroom falling on my knees sobbing.  I prayed honestly about everything I thought I did wrong in my life.  I  had read  32:3 and David’s confession of a sin he thought he was hiding from God, and not until he was honest before God did he get peace. I wanted to make sure I covered all my actions good or bad, because I wanted peace in my life. I look back at that time and wondered what God thought of this lonely mixed-up person.  Anyway, He flooded me with peace and love.  My life did not change immediately, but in time it did. Until that time, my Lord carried me.  I know because there was only one foot print in the sand (or devastation) I was stumbling through..,He brought me through the storm to cool gentle rain drops of His love for me…..and, my life began to change for good.
