human pride and self-
assurance, we bow before
our God and humbly submit to

situation!

means that I realise how
much it affects me, my
relationship with God, my
relationship with others and I
need to do something about it.

process, it is not a human
weakness

short comings
compliments
the 1st beatitude.

26. We can’t truly repent without
godly sorrow, how do I
know?

27. ‘Godly sorrow
brings repentance
that leads to
2Cor
salvation and
7:10 leaves no regret,
but worldly
sorrow brings
death.’

28. The blessing is not
upon
all that mourn, but
upon
those who mourn in
reference to sin.

29. Where is the
comfort?

& mourning

32. ‚He will wipe away
every tear from Revelation
their eyes, and death 21:4
shall be no more,
neither shall there
be mourning, nor
crying, nor pain
anymore, for the
former things have
passed away.‛

33. "If we believe that God's
grace and sovereignty is
greater than any loss or
disappointment, we, too, can
experience joy in the midst of
sorrow."'CAREY KINSOLVING'

34. The big Q.
When with the
consequences of our sin and
the suffering of living in a
fallen world, do we harden
our and become a
cynical or open our up
by crying out to God for
help and comfort?
