Guilt and Shame

Never let guilt and shame control your life. You will never get past your past when these rule your life.

We all have done things in our past that we are proud of.  Oftentimes when we have made bad choices; along comes the guilt and shame twins.  These feelings are from Satan and are sent to keep you from reaching your destiny. When you are under the weight of guilt and shame you will never rise to the level that God has intended for you. God will send conviction to let you know that you are drifting away from His plan. However, there is guilt and shame in conviction. Leave the weight of guilt and shame behind today. Do you best, along with the strength from God, to not back into the areas that once tormented you. Stay away from the places and people that try to keep you down. No matter what you have done in your past you still have an awesome destiny ahead. Your purpose is still intact and awaits you today. I for one know this, because I have spent time in guilt and shame for my wrong choices. Today though if I make a bad decision or sin, I quickly repent and get back on track. Thank God today for His conviction to keep us from losing our way.
