Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have realised that you have sinned and repented, yet you still feel condemned?

My friends, believe me when I say I have felt your pain many times.  There is a key to happiness and it ccomes in the gift of eternal life and mercy which Jesus gave us on the cross some 2000 years ago!  The key is to ask for God's mercy.  Ask with your whole heart.  Make sure that when you repent, you feel the reality of your confession in your heart and in your soul.  Pray to your God and receive his mercies and then move on.  You cannot unscramble eggs, or turn a cake back into flour and water!  Attempting to remove guilt by over-thinking or attempting to deconstruct it through dwelling on it; will ultimately make you feel worse.  Only God has what is needed to remove your sins.  Acts 3:19-20 NIV says:

"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus."

This means that no matter what you have done, if you repent and express your sorrow to the Lord, he WILL heal you and make you new.
