2 Cor. 7:10 " Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and
leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death."
This verse hit home with me this morning when a report came across Fox News
about a grieving family who lost their 15-year old son in a terrible auto
accident. The mother of the boy asked God for a sign that her son was in
heaven. She went on the internet and found the song "No Tears In Heaven."
She downloaded the words to the song and it gave her comfort, and she saw that as a "sign" from God that her son was in heaven.
She contacted the writer of the song and asked his permission to write the words on her son's gravestone. The writer granted her that permission. Also the writer is sending copies of the song on CD to the solderiers fighting the war in the Middle East. The writer also gave permission for the members of Gold Star families to use the lyrics in their memorial services.
These lost people do not realize that the death of their loved one, as painful and tragic as it can be, is not the tradegy. The real tradegy is that unless they repent there is no hope for them and they will spend eternity in Hell.
The World has nothing to offer but death. But the gift of God is Eternal Life in Jesus Christ!
