2 Cor 7:8-11
8Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— 9yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 11See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
The Holy Spirit is the one which convicts and brings to us a the truth. Through us, the Holy Spirit may use our words to convict the hearts of those He wants to touch. Although they may not want to hear the truth, the truth will lead us to Salvation.
I would sometimes dilute or truth and hinder the Holy Spirit, but I believe that the Spirit of God wants to instill into us His Truth and His Light, so that we may know Him. I should move in the Spirit and let Him take control of what He wants to do.
Father, I thank you for your words that you want to instill into me. I know that you want to change hearts and move in people's lives. Let me walk where you walk and go where you want me to go. Let me be able to speak for you, even if it would first cause others to know the truth. Lord, I know you will do something with your words. I thank you for this word and pray this in your Holy name.
Amen.
