Guilty?
There it is again - that silent, nagging feeling of heaviness - GUILT!
Oh, there's plenty of evidence to make a case against you and me...we're quite the sinners, aren't we?
Sometimes we sense that thought fleeting through our minds - that wistful expression of desire for getting better, "If I could only forget...If only I'd not done, said, thought..."!!!
GUILTY! Our conscience - sometimes quiet - now screaming! GUILTY!!!
Oh, then the horror of that next thought, "Do you really think God loves you after what you did, said, thought?"
If the above describes you then perhaps the following scripture will be a refreshing drink for your soul:
ESV Romans 8:35 & 37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?...37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
You may sometimes feel as if your conscience is your enemy. It's not...but your enemy is real. The battle for your focus is real. The devil wants to distract you from Jesus and the glorious truth of who you are in Him. If you are one who confesses Jesus then you are forgiven, loved, set free - free to walk in a manner worthy of the high calling to which you've been called in Jesus.
