We can be forgiven
Author: Pastor Claude Thomas
Have you ever heard someone say, “I made a mistake, so sue me!”? I like another turn to the whole thing. It goes like this, “I made a mistake, so forgive me.”
Too many people are carrying a load of guilt and want to get rid of it. The problem is we don’t know how. So, what do we do? We try home remedies.
The blame game, “it wasn’t my fault.” We’ve all tried that one and found it unsuccessful.
The denial game, “it really wasn’t that bad.” If not why do we feel so badly about it?
The burial game, “forget about it.” We try to bury it in the backyard of our sub consciences only to find that it grows through the grass to remind us of our sin.
All of us know the sting of guilt! It climbs like scorpions in our minds and stings our consciences. What are we to do? Is there real relief from the guilt?
The good news is “yes!” Jesus said, “Come unto me and I will give you rest.” Today, if you are tired of the load of guilt, turn to Jesus.
