Self-responsibility versus false guilt

Authenticity delivers honourable character building points of view that lead to pure intention and self-responsibility
False beliefs deliver wobbly view points of view that lead to manipulative selfishness and lack of self-determination

One is divine; the other deliberate human deception. One is my birthright; the other was adopted. Failure to recognize this almost resulted in a permanent life void of the spirit of love, of power and of a very sound reasoning ability… gifts that God himself bestowed to each of us.

I had been oblivious of how badly I had severed my relationship with God and in so doing, with myself and all whom I long to engage in as part of my interpersonal connection when I allowed false guilt to take up residence in my life. That I cone to understand and accept as lack of self responsibility and I am doing what I can do to correct/reverse the damage or the side effects as well as change my erroneous beliefs that influenced my decisions that manufactured so much false guilt that I was beginning to lost everything and everyone that mattered and most of all as I mentioned already, my authentic self.

All along God had been drawing my attention to the truth and importance of thinking for myself and the consequences of this sin called 'not thinking for myself'; however I was often too confused to understand and the more I resisted his discipline to guide me into correcting and transforming my thoughts and the health of my mind, I just kept backing away from him and into the very course that is misleading me. The Psalmist words “Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle. —Psalm 32:9, literally jumped out the page ad all I could imagine was God getting so firm with me and so determined to knock me down and even crush me. For one, he knew that only he could put me back in one piece long after he was through tearing me apart and leaving my self-respect and self-worth intact.

I am beginning to see the potential of stories is book as being the best source to encourage cross-examination between the authentic guilt versus false guilt. This is my very own belief and is subject to change only as God I feel God speaking specifically to me, Nympha Francis- Angel Eyes!

I have to be always discerning the difference so I can distinguish the path I should follow. I have no time to entertain the glamour or lack there of, of guilt; therefore, I continue to invite God to remove the obstacle called false guilt until all I know is truth. This is not asking God too much otherwise, I would be rejecting his invitation to cast all my cares on him. So I ask of him, seek from him and knock on his door of compassion and he responds.
