“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 NKJV
To mourn for your sins is a natural outflow of poverty of spirit . . . Many know they are wrong, yet they pretend they are right. As a result, they never taste the exquisite sorrow of repentance.
Of all the paths to joy, this one has to be the strangest. True blessedness, Jesus says, begins with deep sadness.
