Many of us can feel empty, and don't really understand why. It is because we were made by God for God. We were born with this need inside us. When we go our own way in life, and don't count God in, we can get in a mess because we don't understand what is really best for us. Only God knows that. We were not made to carry guilt. Our shoulders are not big enough. When guilt weighs heavily on us, it can cause all sorts of problems – mental, emotional, and physical. When we say sorry for the wrong things we've done, God wipes our slate clean. He wipes it all away. We are justified, just as if we had never sinned!
