Guilt and the Spirit

Suicidal thoughts come from grief. Feeling a sorrow that no one is interested in you, that you have failed, that you have been rejected, that you have done an immence wrong. Guilt and indifference are probably some of the most potent tools in the arsenal of Satan. I know that when I fail, if I don't choose to recover and stand back on my feet, I would have a feeling of guilt bug me; after a while, in search of peace I would claim the attitude of indifference. But when it comes for feeling sorrow for my sins and what they have caused to my Savior, I am moved to repent and to accept the price paid. Peace comes over me, for I know that there is no memory of my transgression left against me, once it is cleansed by Christ's blood. And it does not stop there: "See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done."(2 Corinthians 7:9-11, NIV). I can fail and stay failed. Or I can fail, confess, and live again. Indeed, the patience of our Father is beyond our comprehension, for if I myself get fed up with my own mistakes, He would never say "Enough, I am done with you".
