Sometimes guilty feelings persist even when we know they are not from God, even when we have done everything in our power to cast them out. In times like that we must choose to believe the truth of God’s word rather than our feelings, no matter how persistent they may be. Because God’s Word says I am forgiven I now walk in that truth. I do the things a forgiven person would do. I worship. I serve. I witness and I minister. By walking in the truth of God’s Word I bring my feelings into agreement with the Word. Be encouraged. John tells us:

“…Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.”

— 1 John 3:20 (NLT)

Lord, help us to trust Your word rather than our feelings. Amen.
