Guilt should not be present or a motivating factor in my walk with Jesus, otherwise I will internalize it into other areas of my life and out onto others in the form of judgment. (If I am striving so hard to measure up to this impossible standard, they need to measure up to it as well)
2. Be WITH rather than doing FOR (God, acceptance, performance).

Tool 1 – would be contemplative spiritually, meditating on the word rather than reading it, and writing/creating in response. Ex. – MAKE A TWEAK. Stop reading the Bible, but don’t stop meditating and
praying on Scripture.
Tool 2 – would be proactively giving away encouragement to someone Jesus brings to your heart. Do something tangible to express and reinforce the shifts happening inside you.
