Genesis 44: Legitimate Guilt!

“So Judah said, “What can we say to my Lord? What can we reply? Or how can we clear ourselves, since 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨? Behold, we are my Lord’s

slaves, the rest of us as well as he with whom the cup is found.””

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭44‬:‭16‬ ‭AMP‬‬


Legitimate guilt occurs when we do something wrong. It’s conviction or self-judgment impressed on our conscience. It’s there because of our own evaluation of our behavior. If we ignore that internal impression enough our heart eventually becomes hardened.


These boys are overwhelmed with guilt. I know I have felt this myself, like oh boy the lord is chasing me down. THE reality is the Holy Spirit is a hound dog. He is pursuing us and He is relentless for sure. However, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT that God is kind. Gentle. and so Loving. He wants what is best for us even when discomfort and discipline may be necessary.


So if every I am not understanding the process Im in, I try to remind myself regularly, He’s a good good Father
