Top resources on guilt

Just when we think we’re past it, we’ll hear a song or pick up a scent that reminds us of what happened. We push away opportunities because we believe we’re not worthy. We push away people because we believe they’ll abandon us if they knew.

Like a gavel strike echoing through a courtroom, the weight of guilt is unmistakable. But the Bible says we don’t have to carry that weight anymore.
