This morning, I had a very in-depth chat with someone I love very much about guilt. This person is currently struggling with feeling as if something they have done has created a "permanent dent" in their relationship with God. Their challenge is not unique. Many, many Christians - and non-Christians alike - struggle with not being able to stop beating themselves up, and feeling as though there is no coming back from what they have done, especially when it's a repeated sin. It's something I often struggle with as well. Because there is no better way to explain how powerful guilt is, the impact it can have on our relationship with God, and just how (WELL) the devil uses it to keep us down, here is exactly what I told my loved one this morning: Think back to a few weekends ago when you were so excited about God, you felt so free and you felt like you finally understood certain things. That feeling right there is what the devil is going to constantly attack you
Encouraging a deep, meaningful and intimate relationship with God, and helping you to make the best of the life He's given you.
