It had been quite at work that night until a co-worker came to me asking if I knew CPR. Steve the supervisor had clasped and was not breathing. When I made it to him I could tell that we were faced with a bad situation. A quick check of his vital signs confirmed my worst fear Steve’s heart had stopped. I immediately began CPR. It seemed as if time stopped as I struggled to breath life into Steve’s body. In between compressions I begged him to comeback from the brink of death. Then finally after what seemed like an eternity to me the paramedics arrived and took over trying to save Steve’s life. A crowd of people had gathered and began asking me if Steve was dead. To this day I don’t know what my answer was, but I know I wanted him to live so badly. It was not meant to be. Despite all the best efforts of everyone our brother passed on. When I heard the news, it felt as if a truck had hit me.

If you are carrying guilt around in your life because of a situation that did not go the way you wanted, I beg all of God’ children to let it go and give it over to the Father. Look inside your heart and realize you did the best you could, and if that’s true God knows it too. Guilt is a powerful tool used by the deceiver in an attempt to separate us from the Father. Trust God’ will.
