Under our legal system, the words “not guilty” are often used to describe folks who are very guilty. What are your thoughts on guilt?
- It’s either guilty or innocent
- Guilt depends on circumstances
- We’re all guilty
Think about these two words: guilt and shame:
Guilt – I have done something bad
Shame – I am a bad person
Think two more words:
Mercy – I’m not given the punishment I deserve
Grace – I’m given blessings I don’t deserve
Yes, I am guilty. I’m a work in progress, a soul under construction. By mercy, I’m forgiven. By grace, I have the hope of heaven.
