there’s this huge lie out there
about guilt. you may have heard this
lie. you may have thought this lie. the lie is guilt makes me a better
person. if i just feel a little bit
guilty maybe i’ll do the right thing next time.
but it never works. it just gets you caught in the trap of doing the wrong thing, trying to do the right thing, doing the wrong thing again. it’s an endless cycle. it doesn’t make you a better person it just makes you a miserable person feeling trapped the rest of your life.
the truth is some of you feel guilty about not feeling guilty. your motto is “i should always feel guilty about something.” then you’ll feel better about yourself.
no, you won’t. you feel worse about yourself.
the truth is GOD tells us HE wants to forgive us. and that we need HIS forgiveness to live the kind of life HE wants us to live.
HE not only wants us to know that we’re forgiven by HIM; HE wants us to feel that we are forgiven by HIM because HE forgives us instantly.
just a thought from the front porch…
