Reflection and Discussion Ch7 Q6

         Describe a time when you felt condemned (by yourself or someone else).  What would the difference have been if you had processed the situation through the filter of conviction instead?  What steps can you take next time to usher in restoration instead of condemnation?

I think that my problem is when I am convicted I often condemn myself for not doing (or doing) what I’ve been convicted about.  When I am condemned by others, God have convicted me to know that these are not His thoughts.  If I accept His conviction, then I can use His promises, His guidance and His merciful love to usher in restoration.  But I’m having to retrain myself to do that as opposed to taking His conviction and turning it into my condemnation!
