Guilt Living


Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.  Psalm 31:5

Esther was running out of time.  The doctor pronounced her condition terminal.

When Alice dropped by to see her, Esther blurted out,

I’m afraid of what comes after I die!  God can’t forgive what I’ve done!”

Alice prayed silently before responding.

Sometimes it’s easier for us to feel guilty than forgiven.
Maybe you need a new reason for living.”

Alice gently shared a story of a judge who stepped down from the bench.
He took upon himself the sentence that the guilty man deserved.
Alice explained that Christ’s death paid the penalty for Esther’s wrongdoing.
She was guilty. But God loved her so much He provided a way for her to be forgiven.
Esther trusted Jesus for His forgiveness and was no longer afraid of death.

Now my friend, how about you?

Have you ever opened up your heart to God and asked Him to enable you to become the person He created you to be?  If you would like to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, you can say this sample prayer:

Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make the kind of person You want me to be. Amen.

This is how it starts.  One simple prayer of surrender.


If you prayed this prayer we would love to hear from you . If you would like to know God deeper we can connect you with an email mentor and/or send you some great links.
