Reflection question #3: Does guilt keep you from living the life you were created for?
My first thought...
What interesting timing for this question.
YES! At least guilt tries to, but God and I eventually win out over it.
I try to avoid situations which might create guilty feelings, when they are situations I need to be in. But usually, God will bring me to these hard situations anyway.
On the macro side of things, I have been dealing with a lot of non-specific guilt lately [a hint that it was not healthy appropriate guilt]. The feeling of unworthiness that springs out of it makes me even second guess moving to Haiti to be a missionary. Which is absolutely ridiculous, but it is the truth.
During these days, I am trying to press into God, and into His truths; among them the idea that He wants to use me, and will take me as I am. I know He will, by His spirit, do the hard work of transforming me. I just have to be, open, willing, yielded.
God I pray that each of us can be open, willing, and yielded, so that we are available to be used in the completion of your plan. May Your name be known in all the Earth!
