Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted -
Matthew 5:4
Jesus speaks primarily of a spiritual morning by choice
Other options, could choose to:
Why would we choose mourning?
- Choose God over self
- Realize we have broken his heart
- Our response is to be broken, vulnerable, contrite, and humble
- No other response makes sense or brings healing
Spiritual mourning is an element of true repentance
Godly sorrow brings repentance, leading to salvation -
2 Corinthians 7:10
