A Contrite Heart
Blessed are those who mourn with Godly sorrow...who have a contrite, humble heart and revere The Word of The Lord...for, to them comes repentance that leads to salvation.
The Lord looks to them...they receive forgiveness and and are promised comfort and cleansing through the indwelling of The Holy Spirit.
They know Jesus Christ as The Savior for their sin and confidently approach The Throne of Grace without shame, fear or regret...they know they are reconciled unto God The Father and their heart is filled with joy and peace through their relationship with Him.
Blessed are those indeed who mourn and have repented...they are forgiven and hidden in Christ...for them there is no condemnation and they will dwell in The House of The Lord forever.
