Goodbye to Guilt
by Deborah Ann Belka For years with guilt and shame, I wrestled and I fought . . . thinking that it was the payment that all my sins had bought. It was hard to move forward, they kept pushing me back I thought it was my punishment for the faith that I lacked. Whenever I would forget them, someone came along to remind and with each remembrance they became harder to put behind. Then one day the Lord asked me, "Why did I die for you?" And after that conversation, I knew what I had to do. I said goodbye to guilt, and bid farewell to all my shame for Jesus took them upon Himself and He endured all my blame. For years with guilt and shame, I wrestled and fought . . . but then Jesus reminded me "If you hold on to them . . . . . . I died for naught." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isaiah 38:17 King James Version "Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."
