You've Lost That Guilty Feeling

 
A famous celebrity says he's a leftist because of "Irish Catholic Guilt".  Guilt certainly drives one toward unreasonable thoughts and fears.  If you ever wonder why someone is driven toward self-destructive thoughts and actions as well as unreasonable political ideals, internalized guilt is a driving factor.

Thank the Lord, He provides THE WAY to complete freedom from guilt.  The God who sent His Son to die for us, so we could receive honor, (as opposed to killing us for His own honor - as some guilt-ridden religions teach), is waiting for us with open arms, despite anything the we have done; despite any guilty feelings onto which we like to cling.

Read below to see guilt wiped out completely!

"For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.  He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation—he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]"  John 3:17, 18 Amp

All Your Ways

In all your ways acknowledge Him.
In ALL your ways acknowledge Him.

Going astray from this is easy:  Thinking, "today will be an easy day.  I only have to do ------."  Or, "This car repair will be easy.  It's not like I have to take the whole engine apart, I only have to change the oil."

Have the wheels ever come off on your day when  only something simple was supposed to occur in your day or someone else's? 

In ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge Him.
