"Godly Sorrow"
2 Corinthians 7:10 (American Standard Version)
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
I think about the word sorrow and what it evokes cuts deep into my core. When I add the notion of that sorrow being "godly" . . . it flushes my heart, soul and mind exponentially so. . .there are no words.
I think this absence of being able to describe "godly sorrow" may just be the place each of us must be. . .silenced before the "holy". So that the only thing that might be able to give us voice is His Grace, which compels us to go a different direction than we came.
