“When a person commits wrongdoing and inflicts injustice on the innocent, God's justice may allow them to become trapped in their own mental prison. Like Judas, consumed by guilt after betraying Jesus, their conscience can become their greatest tormentor. Peter's denial of Jesus before the rooster crowed shows us that even the strongest can be haunted by their own failures. The mind can become a prison, replaying the wrongs and fueling regret and anguish. The weight of guilt can be crushing, and the memories of past wrongs can haunt them relentlessly. Ultimately, the greatest judgment may not be from others, but from the turmoil within one's own mind and heart.” — Shaila Touchton
