^“9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. ¹⁰ Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. ¹¹ See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.” 2 Corinthians 7:9-11 (NIV)

Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a Godly manner that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to Salvation not to be regretted, but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a Godly manner. What diligence It produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear what vehement desire, what zeal what indication! Wow! 

Good morning Papa I rejoice and I want to live! Thank you that I no longer have a stronghold to death. I am no longer anchored to Satan’s pull, I am anchored to Jesus he is the anchor to my soul. I feel the peace and the joy with this new freedom from repentance. Thank you that you didn’t leave me in the self-pity thinking. I want to live in all that my life will complete from your glory! All your glory. 

Mary my love the peace you are experiencing is eternal Joy! Your willingness to see and repent has bought you to new freedom. Your diligence in seeking me went deeper than your thoughts on the world. Your daily dedication, journalizing my Word, my voice, my thoughts and my desires for you go so much deeper than the fleeting shallow thinking of Satan’s demons. Yes daughter he tries to persuade you, but I behold you, he tries to worry you, but I provide for you, he tries to tempt you, but I deliver you. That’s it daughter he can only try. But I am the I Am. The power is in the I Am! Psalms 103 do not forget ALL my benefits! Yes he can only try but I Am King of Glory and Victory… I DO! 

Thank you papa I will not forget ALL your benefits and the New Freedom I have been released to. I love you! There is no power in trying. I learned that in AA. Only Power in doing. You are the power of DOING! Hallelujah!!!
