Some years ago, I read about a tormented Vietnam vet who deliberately crashed his sports car into the concrete embankment at the entrance to the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado.
His closest friends described him as a tormented man, haunted by the atrocities he had witnessed and the atrocities he had committed while fighting in Vietnam. Neither counseling nor antidepressants helped. They were simply no match for his memories, or the guilt to which they gave birth. Finally, he could bear it no more. In desperation he chose to end his life rather than continue to live in torment.
“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.”
— 2 Corinthians 7:10 (NIV)
Thank you, Lord, for forgiving our sins and removing our guilt. Amen.
