Guilt is a good thing, a gift from God, it helps us to be better, to work toward being more upright and holy!

It is nice to have God, Jesus, and a conscience that He gives us. To know right from wrong. And when you do something wrong, you know it, you feel bad, you feel guilty, and you have remorse. Today it is easy to steal, lie, cheat, hate, even for some to kill. We see in the news all the time all the crime, fraud, corruption, just so much evil and sin. It is sad to see. It is easy for any of us to fall into the trap to do something dishonest. We all need to be careful of this. The devil is lurking and he is drawing us up to do things we know deep down we should not do. We all need to be careful of this, we need to pray about it, we need to try not to give in to the temptations of doing something bad, dishonest, or sinful. God does not want us to hate, He spoke about love a lot in the Ten Commandments. He does not want us to steal or kill either. He does not want us to sin! Many times, especially if you know Jesus some, you feel guilty when you sin. This is good for us, it helps us to do right from wrong. Not always, but many times it can help to do the right thing. Or it can help you if you have done something wrong, to come clean. God does work in mysterious ways which helps us often to come closer to Him when we do something bad. Guilt is a good thing, a gift from God, it helps us to be better, to work toward being more upright and holy. We need to ask God for forgiveness, to repent, turn from sin, and keep working on our efforts toward trying to be more like Jesus the best we can!
