This past week was all about the difference between godly sorrow and guilt, with the belief that having a since of godly sorrow about our regrets allows to continue to move forward in life while guilt keeps us stuck in the past and focused upon ourselves. Listed below are some steps that will assit us in walking the path of godly, constructive sorrow.
1. Be honest.
2. Focus on the person who has been wronged.
3. Confess your misdeed.
4. Ask for forgiveness.
5. Make it right.
6. Accept forgiveness.
7. Look to the future.
8. Ask yourself why you want to change your behavior or attitude.
9. Rely on God's strength to help you overcome.
10. Respect who you are as a person.
For those of us who are willing to do the tough work required of godly sorrow there is a hope and a future.
