Very well said, Brennan…

Guilt is the protective force that keeps as in balance with everyone and everything else we hold so dear.

Yes, I agree.But when you are doing the right things with the right intention then you don’t have to worry about what people say..
I agree with Keith words:
…’When your refuge is in God, then you become guilt free…’
A good post.Thanks for sharing.
God bless.

Years ago, a very wise man instructed me that “Guilt is the compulsion to repeat the act correctly, to set things right”.

If we are able to correct mistakes (large or small), then guilt is supposed to nudge us to do so. If there is no possibility to correct an error, learn from the pain of guilt to avoid the same mistake in the future, then let it go . . .

Unfortunately, we cling to guilt and sabotage ourselves as unworthy, long past the time when those guilty feelings could have spurred us to improvement.

I agree with your previous commentor that the healthiest action is to “Let Go and Let God” handle things, so we can stay strong to accomplish whatever our mission in life is.

Guilt is a tricky thing…sometimes we are guilty while at other times we are not…and people use the “guilt” trip to try to control and/or manipulate us. The key to getting “out” of this game is to take refuge in God and let Him deal with individuals who try to control using guilt. When your refuge is in God, then you become guilt free. This has been my personal experience of leading a life with minimal guilt-control by others, and also allowing me to freely love and serve through work, friend, family, and prayers.
