When you are a mother, guilt is a state of being. I personally am plagued with guilt every time I stop and think about my effectiveness as a mother. Therefore, most nights we had stopped at McDonald’s on the way home so that I didn’t have to face cooking and homework time while solo parenting. “We are going to Wendy’s.”Yes, guilt is a burden when you are a mom. We never can do enough or do it well enough.What does the Bible have to say about guilt? In Scripture, guilt is a condition. Thanks to the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf, we were given justification from our guilty state. Yet we do like to continue carrying guilt around on our shoulders.One of the many benefits to our salvation is the fact the Holy Spirit resides within us as a guarantee of our salvation. Yet we hold tight to the guilt, refusing to forgive ourselves.Satan loves this. And for many of us, guilt is an extremely effective tool. It makes us focus on ourselves and our frailties, instead of on Christ and His provision for our sin. Guilt can be a paralyzing emotion. We are loathe to make the same mistake, so in our shame, we stop trying.Once we have confessed the sin, we must place the guilt in God’s capable hands and walk away. shoulders are big enough to bear our guilt. And His sacrifice was big enough to pay the price for that sin.Be wise enough to see the difference between conviction and guilt.
