Welcome

For even if I made you grieve with my letter, I do not regret it though I did regret it, for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while. As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt godly grief so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point, you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter (2Corinthians 7:8-11). I welcome the rebuke, of a Godly brother, when done it, love. A Godly rebuke is not done to belittle you but done out of love. If God sends a brother in love to remind you of whose you are! For though we are in this world we must be careful to not become a part of it!
