Amen.

The mark of maturity in our walk. By God’s Grace.

So true. I really don't think the lost have genuine sorrow over their sins. Maybe remorse, shame, regret, their "conscience" gets to them or they regret the consequences or the harm done to others. But the sorrow for our sins against God is what I mean. Realizing what our rebellion against Him costs and the amazing grace and mercy He offers us because He loves us. It IS a part of our maturing faith walk with Him and is a very good sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit within. Those still at enmity with God don't feel that way.
