“Guilt”
God is patient with his repentant children but will punish the guilty.
———–
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit {clear a person of a charge of wrongdoing} the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. Nahum 1:3

“Forgiveness”
Trust God to take care of you! Not a straggler {One who rambles without any settled direction}.
————
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Hebrews 8:12

O Righteous and Merciful Father God, You are slow to anger and great in power. Your justice is perfect, and Your holiness cannot be compromised. Yet in Your mercy, You reach out to the brokenhearted, to the repentant, to those who have wandered and now return. Thank You and praise You, for not acquitting the wicked, but for offering forgiveness to those who seek You. Thank You for remembering our sins no more, for covering our iniquities with the blood of Jesus. Help us to trust You, not as stragglers without direction, but as children led by Your Spirit. Let us walk humbly, knowing that guilt is not our end when grace is our invitation. May we live in the freedom of Your forgiveness and extend that same mercy to others. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and Glory in Jesus’ Precious name, Amen.
