2 Corinthians 6:14-7:16
A great theologian once said, "To be a sinner is our distress, but to know it, is our hope!" Paul would say "Amen." We have nothing to lose and everything to gain if we are in Christ and walking into the light. But the Corinthians were tempted to cover up a scandal and not to call it sin. In response, Paul patiently and effectively ministered to the Corinthians, urging them not to cover up the problem. The result was what Paul calls godly sorrow.
As I recall an experience of deep sorrow I praise God for the good things, especially a rebirth into a relationship with Him, that came after the sorrow had passed!
