Stop Carrying Guilt - Let Jesus Have It
You know, we try all sorts of behaviors to stop feeling guilt. We stay obsessively busy. We distract ourselves with constant amusements. We try to work it off with good deeds. We rationalize away responsibility. We blame other people. We can sedate ourselves with drugs or alcohol or food. But guess what? Nothing works.Except this: accepting responsibility for your own sins against God, and this: embracing the gift of the forgiveness of your sins through the payment made by Jesus Christ on his cross. A great sinner named David gave you words to say in prayer: "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin" Psalm 51:1,2What guilt are you dragging around right now? Want to be rid of it? Admit your responsibility, let Jesus have it, and serve him anew with a clear conscience.Oh yeah, one more thing, don’t forget the Valentines Day Card! Peace,
