We allow our poor choices to imprison us and defeat us when we hold onto the guilt they bring. We can learn some things from our guilt, if we take a brief step back from it and see it in a larger frame. The useful thing that guilt can do for us is to show us that the choices we made did not bring to us what we needed or wanted. Guilt can point us in a new direction and motivate us to seek amends and make it right. After that, guilt serves no purpose or use. In fact, when we hold on to the guilt, we harm ourselves and make ourselve into far less than God intended.
Guilt imprisons us when we make it more powerful then it really is. If you can picture our emotions as energy, which on a metaphysical scale they really are, how would you rate the power of guilt? And, what is the most powerful emotion we can bring to the world? Remember that guilt only has as much power as you give it.
Use your guilt to build a newer and better life this week.
- Admit your fault
- Acknowledge your failure
- Accept forgiveness
Use your guilt to correct your mind, heart and actions and then use your renewed energy to give your best to yourself and others.
Watch this short movie to find the answer and to understand why you must release your guilt.
Blessings to you this week as you love.
Rev. Bill
