Hurt, Guilt, Forgiveness and God's Grace

I recently was asked:

"What to do when you are living in guilt from hurting someone so badly that he decided to hang on himself?"

Forgive and live. Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself. Humbly apologize to the family, seeking their forgiveness and pardon. Thereafter be at peace and let your soul rest (while learning from the past) knowing you have done your best.

The apostle Paul (formerly named Saul before God changed his name and nature) knew the power of forgiveness and God's grace to wipe his slate completely clean. Saul was a murderer, who once he had repented and received God's grace awakened the reality of newness of life in Christ (Acts 7:58-59, 2Corinthians 7:2).

The blood and Spirit of Christ can make the foulest clean and save to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25; 9:14; 10:14-25), whereby God does not thereafter remember our sins and iniquities any more. "If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1John 1:9).

True spirituality is recognizable in that a person is giving and forgiving. To fully live we must release our emotions, lay our sorrows at the foot of the cross, run into the open loving arms of our heavenly Father, receive God's grace and forgive.

Growing in God's Grace Beyond Forgiveness, Guilt and Regrets

The two undeniable signs of a Christian is someone who is giving and forgiving. Yet many have a hard time receiving God's grace to forgive themselves and forget the past. The apostle Paul said "This one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forth unto those things that are in front of and before me" (Philippians 3:13).

Growing in God's grace means we get what is behind us mentally and emotionally behind us, discarding and dropping old baggage and weights within.

We who believe and receive Christ are now under His atoning and cleansing blood, being free to live above the guilt and regrets of the past to persevere onward into divine purposes and eternal fruitfulness that lasts!

Like your butt, your past is behind you and your eyes are in front of you. Now go forward and get busy working on your future.

It's hard to go forward when you are bound to a memory and continually looking in the rear view mirror.

Lift up your eyes for new horizons in God.

Receive God's unconditional love and forgiveness to forgive yourself and move beyond your past to treasure your present and pursue your future.

Blessings and breakthroughs!

Paul
