Guilty and Redeemed
What do you do with all the guilt you have? When you come up short, how do you move forward? If all your shortcomings could be done away with, what would your life look like?
We have all fallen short of our best and we have fallen short of God’s ideal. What makes us right again is God’s free gift of grace. All redemption is in Jesus. Our guilt can be redeemed in God’s good gift of grace.
In his letter to the church in Rome, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:23-24, ESV).
May we experience our guilt redeemed by Jesus as we experience his gift of grace.
A Collect for Peace: “O God, the source of all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works: Give to your servants that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to obey your commandments, and that we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
