Profitable sadness

King Solomon says, “Sorrow is better than laughter” (Eccle. 7:3).

Our face should be sad.

The reason is that our hearts can be made good by being sad on our face.

How can our hearts be good?

It is because godly sorrow makes us to repent our sins and gives us laughter and joy at the end.

In other words, godly sorrow enables us to enjoy the grace of restoration

by receiving forgiveness of our sins.

Therefore, we should be thankful whether we are said or happy.

The reason is because God, in His sovereignty, makes us to confess

and repent our sins even through sorrow.

When we confess and repent our sins, we can receive true joy that God gives to us.

In the end, God makes us beautiful by fulfilling His purpose when cry or laugh.
