How to Deal With Guilt Learning To Live A Life Of Freedom

By Burton Rager


We've all suffered from guilt at one point in our life. Each one of us need to discover how to deal with guilt.Some guilt is real due to our actions and some is imposed on us by others. Can you think of a time you felt guilty when you weren't to blame? Some people try to burden others with guilt so as to lift themselves up. Often their accusations begin with a grain of truth. They distort the truth to put the blame on you. Feeling the need to prove your innocence can be intensely painful also.

Occasionally our guilt is the results of moral failings. The list of wrongdoings can be quite long and can range in our minds from tiny missteps to sins that seem worse, or have worse consequences. Sometimes we will make a case for our actions by comparing our lacks to those of others. Feeling guilty is healthy. If we have no feelings connected with doing wrong, what does that say about us? People who seem to suffer no guilt or have no conscience are typically labeled as hardened wrongdoers, cold-hearted, or anti-social. They don't feel guilty. In this sense we will embrace our feelings of guilt and set about to change our behavior of our wrong doing or immorality.

Ever tried to change your own unacceptable behavior, or inabilities, but find yourself repeating, "I am sorry" or "I will not do that again?" I know I have. I say I'm sorry and guarantee myself that I will not repeat the same behaviors. Yet not too much time passes before I'm in an identical scenario again. I'm encircled in a cycle of sinning, feeling guilt, and attempting to change myself.

Often we do things that we won't justify and that seem unforgiveable. Forgiving yourself and being guilt free may look difficult. Maybe it is an affair. You cheated on the love of your life, your children's pa or mum. You have caused hurt and deep pain to those you like most. Perhaps you or a squeeze conceived and selected termination only to discover you are feeling tortured day and night by your decision. You are trapped by your wrong doing and nothing appears to reduce the pain and the guilt that's ripping at your very soul. Guilt like so many wounds in life steals us of the life we want to live.

I encourage you to milk our complimentary present, "God's Answer?" It will show you how to live life thru a power which will change your life. This journey of yours is not about your abilities or abilities or anything you can do to switch your life. It is about allowing the power of God to radically change you.
