Amazing post. I have read this one a while ago, but apparently needed to hear it again, because I started crying when I read "who told you the crucifixion was not over?" I'm a guilt-trip and shame champion, always dwelling on my sins and stupid mistakes, and I needed to remember that it gains me nothing, but rather hurts both God and me in the process. Thanks for that reminder.

[...] post that made me cry, not in laughter, but because it touched my heart is Guilt trips. Guilt is a theme on Jon’s blog, and in this post Jon shares how God is showing him that [...]

Wow. Thanks so much for sharing that. I'm a PK, too. I think guilt and shame is a huge hurdle to overcome after growing up in the pastor's family. Always having to be perfect, never measuring up. My parents didn't tell me that or instilled that in me, but I got the message loud and clear.

Your other posts have made me laugh until I cried, but this one just made me cry over the truth and sadness that I do the same thing.

Now I have one more thing to feel guilty about…

Thank you for this. The revelation of His love that flowed was an hour of laughing, crying, and admitting that I am loved. Thank you for letting God use you. He is amazing

Thank you so much for this post. I am so grateful that God speaks through you, because what He said, was something I needed to hear.

Should have mentioned this at the time, but better late than never, right?

This came at a very appropriate time for me last week. I took a pay cut in December, and with that and all the rumors at work, I had to make a conscious decision to give all the worry over to God.

Last week, they cut my hours. I had a really hard time handling the news and dealing with it.

When I realized I hadn't held up my end of the "bargain", I felt overwhelming guilt in addition to my worry.

Timely, Jon. Thank you.
