False Guilt
"False guilt arises when we lose face as a result of our own failures. We then blame ourselves because the pain of our failure punishes us for the dent in our own prideful self-image.
Often what topples from its perch is not our true self but the idol we have set up modelled on what we imagine ourselves to be. When the false self-image falls, false guilt ensues.
Again, we can feel false guilt because of the expectations and obligations that are unfairly laid on us by others."

here i am
Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
(Psa 150:1-6)
this is me
Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Gal 2:20 MSG)
