The guilt of sin can make one act absurdly in order to protect his/her image or evade consequences and responsibilities. Running away from your misdeeds is only effective in the short lane, but in the long run, the penalties are going to strike you like a bolt from the blue. In order to enhance your self-development you must be liable for your negligence or ignorance. The former president of U.S Bill Clinton took responsibilities of his negligence, after it was revealed he had committed adultery with his secretary. Despite of his image being tainted by the media; he choose to be a ‘fool’ by humbling himself throughout the difficult time and sincerely asked for apology. Majority criticized to an extent of taking the saga to court so as he can step down, but this did not happen, after he cleared his final term: he has managed to maintain his dignity so well that to date he is one of the most influential, outstanding, and popular leaders on earth. I understand of some difficult situations where lie is the only solution, but before you do it; remember God does not reject you when something awful of your character comes to light. Stand with the truth (no matter how ugly it is) and He will set you free from the jaws of guilt, shame, and worry.
