Remorse and guilt are like identical twins; we sometimes confuse one for the other. Nonetheless, they are quite distinguishable if you know their differentiating traits. For the former is steeped in love and the latter is steeped in fear.
Does guilt bring any real value to humankind? As my spiritual sister Gwen Lily correctly observed, it is of value only if it brings about remorse and (subsequently) a renewed determination to strive harder to live a life that more completely reflects our love for God.
