Own your guilt

Own your guilt

by Joel Howard

Guilt is like a friend

It comes and doesn't relent 

Until we stop pretending we're okay

It knocks at our door 

and silently implores, 

"Sinner, there's another way!" 

A soul with no guilt sensors 

Is like a body with no nervous center 

A hand that reaches for the fire 

to be burned only because 

no nerves had the love to tell the brain,

"Hand's not okay!" 

Guilt can be our signpost today! 

Ask the Lord what guilt is saying 

Let us own our guilt today
