Walking In Truth for Today, Dec 29, 2011

Sometimes it takes some pain to interrupt our lives in order for us to acknowledge that we need to change our ways. Our God will allow such pain to come because he knows it will produce the harvest he desires for our lives. Don't fight what God is trying to do in your life. Be Encouraged.

 

2 Corinthians 7:9-11 New Living Translation (NLT)  9 Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way. 10 For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. 11 Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.
