The real question is not, “How do we eliminate our emotional
feelings of guilt?” The question is “Once guilt and shame have done their job of exposing to us to the true nature of our sin how do we
move forward so they do not cripple us from finding true
contentment?

Michael Gerson Obituary on Charles Colson
Colson was "my greatest example of the transforming power of grace." And although Colson was "utterly consumed by his calling to serve prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families,"… "Chuck was possessed, not by some cause, but by someone. Many wondered at Chuck's sudden conversion to Christianity. He seemed to wonder at it himself. He spent each day that followed [his conversion], for nearly 40 years, dazzled by his own implausible redemption."
