Corrie ten Boom shares a touching story about a young girl who accidentally broke her mother’s beloved demitasse cup. The child tearfully apologized to her mother, who lovingly forgave her and disposed of the broken cup. However, the little girl couldn’t shake her guilty feelings and retrieved the broken pieces from the trash, only to be scolded by her mother.

This story serves as a reminder that once we have sincerely confessed our mistakes and shortcomings to Christ, we must let go of our guilt and trust in His forgiveness. Just like the mother in the story, Christ forgives us completely and removes our sins from us forever. It is unnecessary and unproductive to hold onto our guilt and shame, as it only hinders our growth and progress in life.
