Kisha Moore - Put Guilt, Shame, and Regret to Rest

<p>Kisha Moore - Put Guilt, Shame, and Regret to Rest</p> <p>If you struggle with guilt, shame and regret this conversation is intended to give your heart rest. We’ll point you to the One who knew how hard something like this would be and therefore provided a place, actually Someone, The One to take our pain to and lay it down at His feet, the feet of Jesus. I have personally found Him to be the One, who makes it possible for me to lift my head under the weight of my mistakes.</p> <p>In today’s episode, you’ll be privy to a typical conversation between my friend Kisha Moore and I.  The topic is built around guilt, shame and regret. </p> <p>What I loved about how our time together developed was that we included what it means (both how and why) to stay connected to God.  I think it’s a fair assumption that when we are weighed down with guilt, shame and regret it puts a distance between us and the one whom we’ve let down and that includes when we let ourselves down.  Who wants to spend time in the presence of the person whom you would never want to disappoint when in fact you have been less than you thought you were. </p> <p>But because of the cross the very place we should go is into the presence of God. The reason is because the cross that He provided is the way to restore our peace. A way to ease our burdened heart.</p> <p>There is one area of this topic that I wish we would have touched on and that is guilt with regard to the pain and suffering we have caused others. So I’ll add this quick thought. The way to make peace with that sort of pain is to process it with God, ask Him what did our actions mean, why did we do that. And part of healing is to take responsibility for your actions, decisions, words. </p> <p>Off the top of my head, I think of apologizing (as a way to take responsibility) however, we have no control over the way someone responds to our apology. Truth be told, they may never agree to let us off the hook. Sadly, that also includes ourself as one not wanting to let us off the hook. Very few
