When you come to belief in Jesus Christ you begin to feel awful when you behave in ungodly ways.
The enemy jumps on this and tries to get you to think you aren't saved, or Father is disgusted by you.
He often plants the idea that you need to beat yourself up for a while to prove that you are truly sorry.
Don't wallow in that sin-focused mire of self doubt, anger, and pity.
That unrest and sorrow you feel is the evidence that ungodly things do not fit you and can never satisfy you.
Turn your attention to God right away. He's there with open arms to comfort you and reaffirm you as His beloved child.
You are a child of the King now, and only upright and godly things fit you.
God is not condemning you. He has given you the Comforter, His Spirit. He lives in you at all times--even when you are not acting like yourself.
That's the way of grace. Unconditional love, and peace that passes all understanding.
Grace and peace to you.
