I have a really hard time with guilt. I struggle with it on a daily basis. It’s one of the worst feelings in the world, I think. Anyway, it’s been really hard this week because I realized I felt guilty about being sick! (I’m on day 5 of a pretty intense head cold.) Isn’t that crazy?
I’ve spent most days shuffling around in my robe trying my best to keep Selah occupied. We watched a lot of TV (GUILT). I watched the clock for Travis to come home from work (GUILT). Selah spent a lot of extra time with Gma (GUILT). I felt guilty that I couldn’t entertain Selah when she was home, but I also felt guilty when my mom took her because I wasn’t spending time with her. I felt guilty asking Travis and my Mom for help, I felt guilty I couldn’t help a friend because I was sick, and the list goes on.
I feel like for the first time I’m seeing that this guilt is unwarranted And it’s such a robber of daily joy. And I’m so not okay with that.
Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. Galatians 5:1
Romans 8: 2 (KJV)
2 For the law of the Spirit of LIFE in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Conviction is from the Holy Spirit, guilt is from Satan. When you are sick (and pregnant!) don’t feel guilty for putting Selah in from of the TV more than you normally would or having Grandma watch her for you. And all of us who have been in your shoes totally understand anxiously awaiting for Daddy to come home. Love you!
