COT:
Regret.
The feeling associated with doing wrong or missing an opportunity. Sometimes causing the.need for repentance.

II Corinthians 7:9-10 NKJV
[9] Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. [10] For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

Ask for forgiveness when you’rewrong. Apologize. Don’t live with regret. Forgive others. Don’t miss opportunities. Put Christ firat, and let him be your guide.

COT: “The proud person always wants to do the great thing. But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.” Kierkegaard

Pride and Self-Reliance leads to disaster, not trusting God. The irony is when we accept absolute dependence on God, then we find the strength.

Shame and Fear keep us paralyzed or stagnant doing nothing, but they stem from the same lack of trust and dependence on God.

Self-will leads to failure.
Shame keeps us stuck.
But reliance on the Holy Spirit transforms us into who we were meant to be.
When we walk in the Spirit, God enables us to go higher, endure more, and accomplish what we never could in our own strength. This is exactly how Jesus lived, how much more do we need to?

COT:

Forgiveness is never a one time thing. It must be executed all the time to prevent bitterness and jealousy from destroying us and other people. From that the peace of Christ is guarding our hearts and minds, saving us from our own destructive behaviors.
