our worth, value and identity in Christ. It is critically important to recognize the difference between shame and guilt. Guilt is the feeling that we get when we do something that our conscience tells us is wrong. This conscience, our internal moral compass, serves as protection for both ourselves and for those around us. When our actions or thoughts have led to a violation or injury of another person, guilt can be a good emotion. It is a guide that can make us aware of when we have injured others.
