Conviction VS: Condemnation

How many times have you been criticized harshly and felt ridiculed, guilty or even worse... CONDEMNED! Now what did that accomplish though, at that point you only feel bad, no improvement, or even the response of wanting to make things better. There goes that vinegar, instead of the honey? So where's the sweet stuff???

Then how many times have you indeed felt poorly about a situation, but instead f a guilt trip someone sat down with you and explained what was wrong and helped you to improve and move forward. Better yet when you've prayed about something and you felt not only the sadness of what has been already done, but then you are given a second chance and the strength to move forward and given the ability to make a new example to show others, you actually WANT to change. THAT is called conviction

Condemnation = Fear, guilt, pain, shame
Conviction= Love, CONstructive criticism, prayerful correction
