Guilt Spilt

For someone who has been eternally freed, but still hides behind a darkened door.

For someone who has been completely pardoned and made whole, but still feels crushed by the weight of their old world. 

Guilt has a way of keeping you from all that can be good in your life. 

Guilt is a mind-trap.

So powerful, in fact, that it can make you feel physically paralysed. 

Guilt will make you live condemned. 

Like a total failure. In constant regret. 

Giving up, before you've begun. 

Guilt will never encourage you to keep going strong. 

It'll never cheer you on, "You can do it! I believe in you!"

And it will never ever suggest that you're doing better than you once were.

But the voice of Truth will say, "Tomorrow is a new day. You can trust again. Just look up once more, to the One who loves you so. Never give up today. Hope is here to stay. Just step a little closer, Love will guide your way..."
