Sometimes we feel guilt because we did something wrong or didn’t something we should have. This kind of guilt has a purpose - to get you to make it right or seek a remedy as best you can, to repent and to forgive yourself. Too many times though, we don’t do this. Instead, we “move on” but our conscience is troubled and it leads us to have regrets, bitterness, and shame.
We can’t control whether someone forgives us, only that we forgive them and seek God’s forgiveness - and then forgive ourselves. That’s what grace is for. When we don’t do this, we give the devil a foothold in our lives. We all need more grace and forgiveness in this world!
