Guilt and Conviction

A friend has put this in my heart these days.

That there is no place for guilt. It dwells on the past and punishes without change or positive results. It keeps us in something painful without a plan out.

There is always room for added conviction. The knowledge that there is more to do and the increased wisdom, tied to action, can accomplish beautiful, new and improved attitudes, behaviors and circumstances in our lives.

Purposeful life, for me, means turning guilt into conviction while walking humbly with the One who gives me hope.
