I'VE GOT THE BLUES: I FEEL SO GUILTY

Blaming other people for your problems seems to work for a while. But eventually the truth crashes in--your pain is self-inflicted. It's your fault. You cheated on her. You made the terrible investments. You took the drugs. You stole the money. You fired the weapon.

One of the most paralyzing of all human experiences is guilt. Guilt makes you think you're destined to be like that. Guilt smothers hope. Guilt just keeps digging the hole deeper. Guilt keeps you from praying or reading the Bible. Guilt makes you hide from God, the very one whose voice you most need to hear.

Jesus' mission on this earth was to neutralize and remove your guilt. His death and resurrection provide an unlimited source of the forgiving relief that we all need. King David wrote in Psalm 32:3,5, "When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. . . . I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD' – and you forgave the guilt of my sin."

Ready for your load of guilt to be lightened? Throw it on Jesus today and let Him have it.
