Emotions
Guilt
The weight of feeling that we did something wrong and should have acted differently.
What the Bible can tell you
I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
Psalms 32:5
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Romans 8:1
A human reading
Guilt can be a signal to repair something, but it can also become a burden that stops us from moving forward. The text speaks of acknowledging the mistake and receiving forgiveness. After repairing what you can, keep going.
