Mark 10:22
Notice here the grief! You would think that grief would cause this young man to change his outlook. But this sorrow is not the kind to produce repentance. It is the ‘that’s too bad’ sorrow. There will be a whole multitude of persons in hell quite sorrowful for thier state, but too late to change it. Why? All for this type of sorrow. It is a ‘feeling sorry for yourself’ sorrow. It has never done anybody any good.
Heavenly Father, you always have the best plans in mind. We think we know what is best for ourselves, but we just don’t. Lord you are so patient! You don’t just give up on us. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
