Day 302..."A remnant in Judah...Godly sorrow leading to repentance"

Jeremiah inspires a remnant in Judah to endure the exile. Dr. Floyd Enfinger once described the remant as a patch on "blue jeans." I suppose this remant in Judah was a "patch job" for a people afraid of losing their identity. When groups are challenged a commited core can be stronger than ever. This is the case for Jeremiah and those he inspired.

Paul refers to "Godly sorrow" leading to repentance. Is Paul apologizing for making people aware of sin? If repentance is the result, then Paul is not sorry. Does guilt do any good?
Is there good guilt? II Corinthians chapter seven would indicate guilt can lead to a higher purpose. This reference is not referring to debilitating guilt that shuts a person down. Jesus died not to keep us in guilt but to set us free. Our choice to repent is necessary to release the burden of guilt.
