Maybe you made a mistake.
Fell back into an old pattern.
Or did something you wish you could take back.
And instead of turning toward God, you pulled away.
You stopped praying.
You convinced yourself you weren't worthy of His attention.
You let guilt tell you that you needed to feel bad a little longer before you could come back.
But here's a question worth considering:
What if distancing yourself from Jesus isn't the answer to your guilt?
In Part Two of the Everyday Faith Podcast, Savannah Carlson shares a powerful reminder about what Jesus accomplished on the cross.
Jesus took the punishment for our sin.
That doesn't mean our choices don't matter.
It doesn't mean repentance isn't important.
But it does mean we don't have to try to make ourselves worthy of forgiveness through shame or self-punishment.
Because the cross reminds us that our hope isn't found in how deeply we regret our mistakes.
It's found in what Jesus has already done. 💛
So if guilt has been keeping you away from God, here's your invitation:
Bring it to Him.
Be honest with Him.
And remember that His grace is greater than your failures.
