guilt

so what happens when something wrong is committed?

first i think comes rationalization.

it was ok to say that because it wasnt gossip, it was true.
no one else knows so its ok.
well it was done to me first.

such things stop us from being redeemed of our sin.

second comes the guilt. this is when we feel sorry and it really hurts and we wish we hadnt done what we did, or did what we didnt do.

third comes Godly Sorrow. this is when we realize that we have offended God and we humble ourselves to His will.
