It is amazing that there are many who believe we should remove guilt from our minds. The reasoning behind it is that guilt is a negative emotion.
Yet guilt like other negative emotions, can function in the same way as physical pain. Both symptoms are emerging signs that something is terribly wrong. Pain alerts us to a physical condition, while guilt is a symptom of an inner illness.
Emotions both positive and negative are apart of life, so rather than avoiding guilt the way many would want us, we should confront it and investigate the cause.
If we have wronged Our Lord and Our Friend, we should apologize to Him and ask for His forgiveness. 1 John 1 verse 9 and 10:
V9: “If we confess our sins {wrong-doings against God}, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin sand to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.
V10: “If we say, ‘We have not sinned,’ we make Him a lair, and His word is not in us”.
If we confront and confess, then Our Lord and Our Friend, will wash our sins {wrong-doing] away and we will be made whole again.
Point to ponder.
God Bless.
