You do something wrong. You know it. You've stopped lying about it. Now you feel guilty. Does this feel familiar?
How did feeling guilty work out for you? Did it help? Did it fix anything? Did it motivate you to be better? Did it cause you to reflect on God's goodness?
Never.
It's not about feeling guilty. Guilt will never help you find freedom in Christ. The best it can do is make you try harder to conform to some outside system. God is all about the inside. Not trying harder but being transformed. Freedom is what we have been saved for it. Learning to live in freedom is hard but rewarding work. May we be guided forward by the loving Spirit of God.
