How To Deal With Guilt; Living A Lifetime Set Free in Only 10 Days!

I’m not a big fan of guilt. It’s annoying! Every time I turn around, something is lurking around the corner that makes me feel guilty. What I eat or shouldn’t, how much I exercise – or do not, people I should have called but didn’t and the things I could have done now but left till tomorrow or later. The list isn’t ending as is the guilt and I know I am not alone in what I’m going through.

The Baltimore Sun paper has compiled an intensive group of articles they’ve written on the guilt people experience, including everything from mom guilt to survivors guilt that includes people who have survived the current recession with their job still untouched and those who have lived through a plane wreck when others did not.

How to deal with guilt is the essential question of a world charged with it, because many lives are being burdened by their guilt. Having guilt is an awful thing. Dependent on the cause of guilt, the ensuing embarrassment and remorse can make living rather difficult, even weakening if it gets overwhelming. There isn’t any question that plenty of guilt is self-inflicted based totally on impractical expectations by individuals or ourselves. We want to figure out how to let go of that kind of guilt, or better yet, not let ourselves own it. But, sometimes guilt is justified when caused by wrong, unethical or illegal behavior. If thats what it is, what are the options?

In figuring out the best way to handle guilt, you might try to live with it, remind yourself it’s in the past and whats done is done and go on with what is bound to be not as joyous way to live life. Or you might try and explain or minimize it, citing thirty different folks you know who have done what you did or worse, making you feel better in comparison. Or you could use the remainder of your life punishing yourself for it? (A lot of folks do this without even realising it.) If you have done something in your life you actually regret, you know none of these are outstanding options. Your guilt could eat you alive before you find relief traveling down one of those highways.

The best option is to seek leniency from the Person who is actually able to forgive you, your Heavenly Father. Guilt is sin and sin is anything contrary to what God wants us to think, do or say! Hence, what that suggests then is that all sin is directly against your Heavenly Father.

King David writes in the 51st chapter verse 4 of Psalms when he says against you and you only have I sinned and done that which is evil in your sight he was talking about the cheating he had committed with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder of her partner when trying to hide it. Yes, there were people concerned in his sins but above all his sins were against God. As a result it was God’s clemency that he required.

God not only forgives but He pardons and thats where the liberty from our guilt comes from. God, when he pardons, completely releases you from any further punishment of the sin and God even goes as far as to forget our sin. God is able to do that because He is God. Now, there still might be implications from your sin that can’t be avoided; cheating on a exam might still result in failing the subject, an adulterous affair may still result in the wedding breaking up and lying to a supervisor could mean the end of a job but it does not mean those can’t ever be forgiven or pardoned.

If we’ve got an intimacy with God, thru His Son, God promises us in I John 19. If we confess our sin He is trustworthy and just to excuse us of our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought and action). Not only will He cleanse us but He removes our guilt.

Our world is very good at handling things we do not know how to repair. We manage illness and pain and suffering. We attempt to manage our fear and anxiousness and even our guilt. We use far too much wasted energy on managing things that He wants to cure, deliver us from or pardon us of and give us freedom in this life. Living alongside guilt isn’t the way God intends for any person to live life. He paid the highest price possible, the death of His Son Jesus, for your forgiveness and release from guilt. Why then, would God not welcome your request to do so gladly?
