Guilt and shame are two powerful emotions in life. Guilt is the result of doing
something that we shouldn't do. We might tell a lie or take something that be-
longs to someone else.
The result is the we punish ourselves or someone else punishes us. I think of
shame as not doing what we should have done. So, how do we deal with guilt and shame?
We beat ourselves up over our past when God has already forgiven us. God has given us a new start.
Let's remember at Easter that the guilty and shameful parts of life can be left in the tomb as we experience new life.
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Luke 12:27
