For most of us, it is much easier to accept God’s forgiveness than to forgive ourselves. So sometimes we continue to feel guilty about a sin we have already confessed, one that God has already forgotten. We become so fixated on past mistakes that we miss out on future opportunities. We mistakenly think that our failures disqualify us from being used by God again. However, guilt has never been a working fuel; rather, it is corrosive and oxidizing. Remember, Peter failed three times, and yet Jesus gave him his mission again. Peter’s genuine repentance, his tears, and the Lord’s grace brought him back from the bottom of the abyss.
