It's Not All Your Fault

There is some confusion about guilt. A recovering person stated he was having a difficult time with guilt. His wife was mentally ill, and he felt his drinking had caused this. No person is so powerful that he or she can make another person psychotic or alcoholic. When we regret having done something wrong, but still feel guilty after making amends, we can ask God's forgiveness to remove the painful feelings of guilt. If we hold on to guilt we have no business having, and ask God to lift that burden of guilt, He may say, Just put it down. You had no business picking it up.
