Every day of your life you make choices about what you will or will not do.
I've listened to countless stories in the counseling room of people who create tensions for themselves because of their own actions. No one knows their secret. But they know.
Consider what the Bible has to say:
Each one examine his own work…in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another (Gal. 6:4).
Want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise of the same…if you do what is evil, be afraid…for…an avenger…brings wrath upon the one who practices evil (Rom. 13:3-4).
I have found guilt is only a problem with people who pretend to be sorry for something they have done, but intend to do it again. Guilt is no problem to the repentant person, no matter what he has done, if there is a willingness not to repeat the mistake.
If you follow God's commandments, you will watch your self-respect grow, and you will be on the way to becoming indestructible. -Henry Brandt. Visit him at www.BiblicalCounselingInsight.com
