Godly sorrow brings us to repent, the true cleansing of our hearts.
The remorse that we should feel in our spirits because of our sin, lack of trust in God, poor thinking, and poor judgment should lead us closer to Christ.
We are strengthened to do the will of God, to love the Lord and to love our neighbors.
Our godly sorrow isn't about tears, empty words about how we feel, or an emotional outburst.
It is about relying on God, knowing that we are in constant need of the Savior Jesus at all times.
