“We would like God’s way to be like our ways, His judgments to be like our judgments. It is hard for us to understand that He lavishly gives enormous talents to people we would consider unworthy, that He chooses His artists with as calm a disregard of surface moral qualifications as He chooses His saints.” Madeleine L’Engle, Walking on Water P. 26

Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
    and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”
    And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Psalm 32:5

This passage got me thinking about a conversation I had the other day with someone. Do you think the removal of guilt is the same thing as the removal of shame or are they different things?
