Many people are driven by guilt.
They spend their
entire lives running from regrets and hiding their shame. Guilt-driven people
are manipulated by memories. They allow their past to control their future.
They often unconsciously punish themselves by sabotaging their own success.
When Cain sinned, his guilt disconnected him from
God’s presence, and God said, ‘You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”
That describes most people today-wandering through life without a purpose.
We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be
prisoners of it. God’s purpose is not limited by your past. He turned a
murderer named Moses into a leader and a coward named Gideon into a courageous
hero, and he can do amazing things with the rest of your life, too. God
specializes in giving people a fresh start.
The Bible says, “What happiness for those whose guilt
has been forgiven1… What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God
has cleared their record.”
Amen.
