deep(er) thoughts - on guilt
guilt isn't freedom.
Regret and guilt have a lot of power when not evaluated next to God's grace and love. Self-inflicted "punishment" vs. God-gifted relationship. The truth about life is that we'll never measure up to anyone's standard, definitely not our own.
guilt isn't humility.
How to relate to God (a replacement for "religion") is to speak and think to Him with a humble heart.
When I come to God with a personal agenda and in defense of my mistakes, I hold a personal conversation with myself! When I come to God needing Him, He is able to work in my life. In humility I don't focus on deepening my pain (guilt) and reveling in my needs (regret), God completes me and I see a whole lot more of His character.
"My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. When once God's Redemption comes to the point of obedience in a human soul, it always creates."
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, November 2nd
obey.
It is farther reaching than guilt.Leave a Comment
