Living Beyond Guilt

Philippians 3:13, 14---"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. "

Last night, in small group, we talked about living in the "today"---forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow. And, if we could only do that. If we would choose to focus on the things of today, most of us could make it through "today". But, it's the yesterdays and tomorrows that seem to give us so many problems. Rest in God, for He will take care of you.

We discussed guilt and the affect it has on our lives. We talked how we must not take responsibility for everything negative going on in our lives. And, besides, we can't always "fix" it. Learning to trust God by releasing the guilt over things beyond our control, or over things in the past, will bring healing to the soul.

Romans 8: 1, 2 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death."
