Good Grief
2 Corinthians 7
Tymarcus Ragland | Pastoral Resident
Paul says there is a kind of grief that ends in rejoicing when it has done its work. However, not all pain is created equal. There is a kind of grief that leads to shame and destruction, and there is — a godly grief— that hurts for a little while, but ends in repentance, healing and wholeness.
