Mourning over the damage that you've created in your life of sin. Not merely feeling bad but understanding fully that you have rebelled against the Holiness of God. This is a sorrow that affects you so much that when you glance back at what you've done, it will cause you to wince at the thought of it.
Coming to Him in brokenness, humbled by your guilt and hoping for an ounce of kindness. Knowing that you don't deserve it but you are just hoping..... then softly...... ever so softly, His Spirit reminds you of His promises.
He is near the broken-hearted, gives beauty for ashes, an oil of gladness for mourning. He comforts those who mourn, He brings in full view that this type of mourning produces repentance that leads you to the destination of Salvation with NO regrets with no need for wincing as you reflect where you once were, because..............
Blessed are you who mourn for you will be comforted!
