When we cry and grieve over making a serious mistake and/or doing another wrong, we are accepting that we are now wiser and have learned a great very strong and intense lesson of life.
Many do bad things and never accept their guilt, they never cry over the wrongs that they have done to others, but if you do have regrets, repent, then this is a sign of maturity and courage, because you have faced what went wrong, your own mistakes and now will become much wiser from the experience and more importantly, you won’t do this again.
It may feel emotionally that life is all downhill for you, but the reality is that this new knowledge and wisdom is a step to more knowledge and wisdom, and when you set things right, a far better future, something beautiful!
All the best from
