Worldly sadness, on the other hand, might have some shadows of these enhances, however it lacks the truth of them. Simply put, worldly grief may appear to have the same qualities as godly grief, but it is not real. Godly grief is a deep, genuine feeling that leads to true repentance and a desire to make things right. Worldly sadness is shallow and does not have the very same level of commitment. It is very important to be able to recognize the distinction in between the 2 in order to ensure that our sorrow is genuine and leads to true repentance.
