Remorse

I just finished reading about Judas betraying Jesus. The thought that came to me as I read it this time: Judas was filled with remorse for his sin. But he wasn't willing to repent.

Don't let remorse for what you have done keep you from repenting. Remorse will kill you. Repentance brings forgiveness and life.

Identity

Our identity is not found in the construct of our own making. Our identity is from and in the the Creator. When we decide to recreate ourselves through our own imagination we will always do so through the filter of inferiority and insecurity. When we legitimize feelings as the only test for identity we invalidate God's creativity. He designed us to be Spirit driven, not emotion driven. Identity In Him; not in what I think of myself or what others think of me. We are created in His image.
