In reply to Constantly overwhelmed with religious guilt., posted by Michael83 on December 8, 2007, at 4:10:13
I had a counselor at a big church here in Austin tell me,"The new age people have one thing right, guilt is a wasted emotion."
If there is a God that's actually involved on a personal level in our lives, you can bet he knows our individual struggles, our self-doubt, our pain, and our heart.
Most of all, God is love. He wants to sustain us.
I heard an unrelated Mark Twain quote the other day: I like Heaven for the climate and Hell for the company.
I hope you can let the guilt go--we're all imperfect, we hurt others, we're all sinners.
We're the ones Jesus came for.(Step down from podium)
