Letting go of guilt and shame allows for change!

"Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him."  (1 John 3:21, 22 NLT)   

It is our quilt, NOT God's disappointment of us that keeps us from Him.  He is NEVER disappointed in us but always LOVES us - no matter what.  When we continue down the path of feeling un-loved and not measuring up we isolate ourselves from God's grace.  A life without grace is no life at all.  We can't feel or see God's light when we just keep playing the "bad guy".  We live the victim mentality and never take responsibility for our actions or attitudes.  We feel guilty not because God is angry, we feel guilty because we feel sorry for ourselves.  That never changes anything! 
 If you know the way you should go, then go.
 If it's difficult,  ask for help.  
If your afraid, your not alone.  
If you are stubborn, let go of pride. 
If you are holding on to tight....surrender.  
We can come boldly to God, with confidence and know He is with us no matter what - when we let go of our guilt and shame.  Letting go of guilt and shame allows for change!
