I am brand new. working through all the emotions if consequences of sin committed greatly effecting my life. I am not able to tell family or discuss but devastating effects. have one true friend I have talked to but cannot burden them daily with this. I am struggling to feel forgiven although I have confessed to God. guilt wilk not allow me to forgive myself
 
Hi and welcome here tapdancer :) !

Even if you feel guilty, God already forgiven you !
Trust the Bible and, more importantly, trust Him.

When God said He forgives all types of sin , He meant it.
God is surely proud of you. Remember this :) .

God Bless you sister and have a nice day !
 
Confess all your sins unto our Lord and Saviour and let him
do the forgiving.
David committed murder among many other sins and yet he
was still loved and forgiven by God more than once.

Me too. I was a very bad boy before I came to the Lord.
All that is behind me now.
I have a new life and move on in that new life by the grace of God.
 
.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Proverbs 3; 5-6

Welcome to CC!
 
As you already have confessed your sin to God there is no need to hang on to the guilt. None of us is perfect and we all sin. It seems to me that you definitely need to discuss this with someone, perhaps your true friend. Hopefully, you will find comfort, support and understanding from the members of this site. Glad to have you as part of our family. Welcome to CC.
 
Hello and welcome! The folk here are really supportive and do like to enjoy a chat. Look forward to you posting and I do love your username too!

"Hold Me Jesus" - Rich Mullins

"Better than a Hallelujah" - Amy Grant
"Hold Fast" - MercyMe

:D
 
Hello tapdancer, we all struggle with our sinful pasts. God is very good at forgiving.

Isaiah 1:18: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

Hello tapdancer - It is a horrible expereince to know the darkness of sin at first isn't it? And I remeber it crippling me emotionally too. But that is just a realization of what sin is not the sum total of why God is showing it to you. For God has conquered sin for you, and has empowered you to conquer sins into the future.Your guilt is the one thing God wants you to place in His hands and at His feet in faith. If you do lay it at His feet - guilt will have no power over you, for you will be free in Christ.

Its nice to meet you, and I have not heard a sin yet that God has not forgiven. Nor have I heard peoples confessions yet that I cannot forgive in Christ. Thus, welcome to the family of God's encouragement toward love and good deeds. We welcome you with open arms..

Oh the joy of that life with God and in God and for God! It takes a sharp discipline for many of us to learn that “my goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace, nor even blessing, but Himself my God.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. I know you know this one!
:) Smile.

(Philippians 3:12-13): ...The Voice (VOICE)

12 I’m not there yet, nor have I become perfect; but I am charging on to gain anything and everything Jesus, has in store for me - and nothing will stand in my way because He has grabbed me and won’t let me go. 13 Brothers and sisters, as I said, I know I have not arrived; but there’s one thing I am doing: I’m leaving my old life behind, putting everything on the line for this mission.
[FONT=&quot][h=1]Matthew 16:24-26 The Voice (VOICE)[/h]
24 (to His disciples) If you want to follow Me, you must deny yourself the things you think you want. You must pick up your cross and follow Me. 25 The person who wants to save his life must lose it, and she who loses her life for Me will find it. 26 Look, does it make sense to truly become successful, but then to hand over your very soul? What is your soul really worth?

This sounds like exactly where I am, kinda. I did something beyond loopy, and it can't be reversed. Oh the guilt, oh Lord the guilt.

For both you and tapdancer you need not be burdened by the guilt it is not your burden to bare anymore. Regardless of what you have done it's clear you both are repentant and God has already forgotten about your transgression as if it never even happened.

Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." And that includes you. (Emphasis mine.)
 
thank you very much for the words of encouragement. In my head I know you are correct about God's forgiveness. I feel so badly about what I did and have ruined the trust a few folks had in me. I am going to have to make huge changes at this time in my life as I am not a spring chicken. job change after being at same job for long time. considering a move to an area that I have talked about moving to for several years. just scary for me. still working through all the emotions of this. thank you again for songs. scriptures and support

Oh I can relate I have done many loopy things,things I regret,things that don't make sense,if not for God and especially now being saved I'd probably be dead if not for God's mercy and blessings.

I am in the same boat, I have done things that I couldn't help but yell at myself saying what is wrong with you? I honestly don't understand why I do some of the things I do I mean the stupidity of it on a level of ridiculousness like just unreasonable absolutely no idea why ridiculousness
