2 Corinthians 7:11
I see what godly sorrow produces in me! Such earnestness, such concern to clear myself, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see You, Lord, such zeal, and such a readiness to be punished as a wrongdoer. You showed that You have done everything you could to make things right.
