How about you...
Do you ever get a feeling of sadness over some sin in your life?

Check this out...
In Matthew 5:4, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”  The meaning of “mourn” in this verse is to be sad over the sins in ones life.  So, when God sees that kind of sadness in us, He is moved to compassion and the verse says that we will “be comforted”.  The big church words for this process are: repentance and forgiveness, but they’re so much more than just words!  Take some time today to read the story of the Lost Son in Luke 15 starting in verse 11.  This is an awesome picture of  repentance and forgiveness, or mourning and comfort.  When we come back to God broken over our sin, His ONLY response toward us is love… forgiveness… comfort!
