Charles Spurgeon, the Puritan Preacher, once wrote, “There are two kinds of tears which true Christians shed: the one is a tear of sorrow because of sin; the other is a tear of joy because of pardon.” And this is shown in Psalm 51:17, which said, ” The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart…” A Christian’s life should be one of constant transformation…of forsaking the old self for the new…for taking responsibility for our misdeeds & allowing them to change us from the inside out. James 4:6 tells us that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble…but what does that mean? First, there is genuine sorrow for what we’ve done. Then there’s the all-important verbal admission of said sin…followed by a sincere desire for the Lord’s forgiveness and restoration. Once we’ve been forgiven, the joy of the Lord fills our heart and spurs us on to tells others about this wonderful gift of grace & mercy.
