how great is our God, sing with me how great is our God, and all will sing how great, how great, is our God... la la la
dan and i went to grandfather mountain on labor day - to go hiking.
what a beautiful sight to see, sitting at the top of the mountain. God's creation is perfect. it is mind-blowingly gorgeous. (mind-blowingly is a self-made word, and i am proud of it.)
i want to go back regularly to journalize, take pictures and feel closer to God.

today, i ask this question based on last night's teen class discussion... is it is a sin to live with guilt?
i don't think there are many who read this post, but those who do, i want to hear from you! - and begin a bit of a debate.
i have asked myself, "is it a sin to be guilty?" I think that guilt and conviction work hand in hand, even though they are not the same thing.
living with guilt on the other hand - i seriously wonder about...is this what God wants for us? could we go as far as saying it is a sin?

I believe that guilt is a wrong. It is not trusting God that He has forgiven you. You are holding onto something that you can not change or you choose not to change. If you submit yourself completely to Him, asking for forgiveness, then He is faithful and just and will forgive and help you move away for the guilt. I think Guilt is like Fear. Fear is not of God. And all guilt is a fear of what you are doing or have done.

I think it is the difference between being a Judas and being a Peter... they both did wrong, but Peter believed in God's forgiveness, and I don't know for sure, obviously, but maybe Judas didn't?
