What is the difference between godly and worldly sorrow?

David Eddy explains in this video that there is a distinct difference between worldly and godly sorrow. Godly sorrow is God-focused while worldly sorrow is focused on one's self. 

We can see an example of worldly sorrow when Esau lost his blessing. He was sorrowful and he sought to regain his blessing with tears. He was sad, not because he didn’t have a right relationship with his father, his brother, or God, but because he missed out on worldly possessions. In contrast, a person demonstrating godly sorrow is grieved when they sin because there is a breaking of the relationship between God. In short, it is motivated by humility and righteousness. 

Hebrews 12:14-17 (NKJV) - " Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears."

Yes, so the difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow is basically the difference between who you're trying to benefit by being sad. Worldly sorrow is, and I think the illustration to get to use quite well, is when Esau lost the blessing, he was sorrowful. He sought it with tears. Probably the blessing, not repentance, was what he was seeking with tears. But he was sad.

But what he was sad was not that he didn't have the right relationship with God, or he didn't have the right relationship with his father or he didn't have the right relationship with his brother, he was sad that he didn't get the stuff. The physical, in this world, blessing of having some sort of benefit. Godly Sorrow says, I don't have the relationship with God that I should have and that makes me sad. And so one is a selfish is motivated by selfishness and the other is motivated by humility and righteousness.
