Should I use this to collect thoughts in the future? I am excited to start a new school year. I will have a challenge with students from different perspectives this year. I am excited about that.
Also I want to hold on to what I have learned about guilt. I haven't felt guilt and shame lately and I forgot how I have been able to move beyond it.
One idea - Not sure it is exactly right but I want to hold on to it is...
I get freedom from remembering that the whole guilt and shame thing is built upon a premise that is false - and that is that I am earning salvation . . . That I am in a race .... That someone (God) is judging
One insight I had years ago: "If I don't feel guilty then how will I be better than everybody else? "
When I fear that I am not measuring up, it may be helpful to ask - who exactly is measuring - And remember that (God) is not measuring...
A concern about guilt is fundamentally self centric... Ego centric...
