Guilt. This 5 letter word is powerful. It is powerful because it is an emotion that leaves us feeling worthless and depressed. Listen we all make mistakes. Scripture tells us that we have all sinned.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23.
GOD forgives. No matter what we did, how long ago we did it, GOD forgives. It is not His desire to condemn us over and over. Those feelings of guilt that keep popping their ugly head up and causing strife and struggle in our life are not from God. Don't be a victim of satan and his lies.
If we have confessed our sin and received the gift of salvation, God has removed our sin through His mercy. "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12.
So, if God has removed it from His memory, we need to remove it from ours. Start today claiming God's grace. Let's stop punishing ourselves, leave those feelings of guilt behind us, and start living a life of freedom and peace through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Love in Christ,
Tera
Wonderful words from God. It's taken me years to be able to not feel guilty because of my past but God has forgiven and forgotten all of them. If they come to mind...I just say, "thank you Lord for forgiving me for that sin". Thank you for your words of encouragement. You are awesom.
