1 John 1:9 – If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

What a liberating scripture!  It means that God is ready to completely pardon us if we confess our sins, thereby removing our guilt.  The sins will be gone, so the guilt we held onto should be gone.

It’s that simple.  No sins are too big – God’s grace can handle whatever mistakes you have made.  The hardest part may be forgiving yourself first.  We often make the mistake of thinking that because we feel guilty, we must indeed be guilty.

Don’t you think that is putting ourselves before God?  Do we dare blame ourselves when He doesn’t?

How would your life change if you let go of guilt?
