06 | Guilt Stealing your Joy? 7 Ways to Beat That Thief

 

Hi friend,

We’ve all made mistakes at some point, right?
Made a poor decision or bad choice?

You’ve looked back and wish you’d had chosen differently? “If I had been a better parent; hadn’t taken that job; married that person; listened to my mother; said that horrible thing … “

We have all done or said things we regret. But all too often that regret morphs into Guilt.

 

What happens when you can’t move past the guilt?

When it just keeps coming back to the forefront of your mind in a way that’s keeping you stuck?

 

Friend – that unhealthy place is NOT what Jesus wants for you!

God doesn’t want regret or guilt to rob us of our joy. Joy in Him, Joy of our family, the Joy of living!

Because guilt is NOT an emotion from Him.

Your past is nothing more than a place you’ve been

It does not define who you are or what God wants to do in your future!
