You know what guilt is? If you've repented, you're truly sorry for what you've done.

Guilt is our way of trying to pay for what Jesus has already paid for.

I'm Joyce Meyer.

I've seen God's power transform my own life, and he will do it for you.

Well, thank you for joining me today on enjoying everyday life.

Yesterday, I started teaching on the characteristics of a perfect heart and you know as younger

christians we all go through a period where every time we make a mistake we feel guilty

sometimes for days and days and i think real spiritual maturity grows up to realize that they may have weaknesses,

but they're not wicked.

They want what's right.

And God knows that you want what's right.

And he deals with you accordingly.

He'll continue to deal with you about the things you need to grow up in,

but he does it as a loving father, not as an angry taskmaster.

And actually, one of the characteristics of a perfect heart is that you're not full of guilt and condemnation all the time,

but that we're going to do a couple of others first.

So yesterday I talked about how just one of the things that a person with a perfect heart does

is they pay attention to what's in their heart.

They guard their heart with all diligence,

and they think about what's going on inside them.

They don't just think about putting on an outward show for people to admire them,
