Guilt will separate you from God. If you allow it into your life and spend each moment in remorse from your sin, you are driving yourself farther from God. God can use guilt to get you to recognize a wrong, but if you for even a moment think that your sin was so great, God has shunned you, if you think you can never be forgiven, then that guilt is a lie, one meant to divide you from His presence. It is only designed to bring you to your knees, not to hold you there in your past wrongs like an anchor tied to your ankles, dragging you down into darkness. You MUST confess your sin and turn away from it, repent to God, and MOVE FORWARD. Don't allow your past to drown you. Don't allow yesterday to live on. Break the chains around your feet with the purification of His Blood and His Grace.
Seek God. Repent. Pray for Change and ACT on it.
God loves you. He offers Grace. Take it. Live.
Psalm 86:4-5 Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
Psalm 103:8-12 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
Ephesians 1:7-10 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
Colossians 1:13-14 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
God loves you. He wants to bring you out of the pain and guilt of your past and into the Grace and Guidance only He can give.
