Sorrow and Repentance 

BIBLE VERSE: 2 CORINTHIANS 7:10 
For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

Many mistake sorrow for repentance. As this verse shows, godly sorrow leads to repentance, but they are not the same thing.

The best example of someone who did not turn away completely from his evil ways was Judas Iscariot. 

Judas Iscariot felt sorry but did not come back to the Lord, humble himself and confess his wrongdoing.

Matthew 27:3-5
[3]When Judas, His betrayer, saw that [Jesus] was condemned, [Judas was afflicted in mind and troubled for his former folly; and] with remorse [with little more than a selfish dread of the consequences] he brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

[4]Saying, I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. They replied, What is that to us? See to that yourself.

[5]And casting the pieces of silver [forward] into the [Holy Place of the sanctuary of the] temple, he departed; and he went off and hanged himself.

So, repentance has to do mostly with your thinking and therefore your actions -- not your feelings.

Today God is asking you to repent and turn away from your sins. And he is ready to forgive you and accept you back just as the father of the Prodigal son received him again.

Thus, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one [especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind, abhorring his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance. Luke 15:7

SAY THIS: Jesus, I call on You to be my Lord. Please help me to repent in every area of life and walk in agreement with you.
