The Price of Sadness = Salvation

For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience,

leads us away from sin and results in salvation.

~ 2 Corinthians 7:10, NLT

I keep asking myself so many questions. I feel so insecure about who I am in Christ or my lack of remembering who I am. I ask myself questions like: Why do I screw up so much? What is it going to take for me to finally get it? And then I think, there is no way I am going to "get it." It's like that song I have been listening to lately, "why am I crying." I wonder why am I downcast when I have the assurance of knowing Christ as my Savior, and then I come across these two passages above about knowing sorrow's experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation or my weakness made complete in Christ's sacrifice. Is it any easier knowing and living life with a human condition that rather wants and begs to be beaten or punished instead of loved. So, here I am humbled to ponder these things that bring about an eternity with God.
