I have 2 from my younger stupid days. I didn't make the decision, the girl did, but I still have a massive amount of guilt and shame from it. I was good with it then, how fucking blind was I.
I prayed for forgiveness and repentance, but the shame and guilt I have is immense, still, 20 years later.
Never forget that the blood of Jesus covers all sins once you confess your need for forgiveness. It doesn't remove all consequences, but you can be grateful for the sacrifice made at the cross on your behalf. We all have regrets of some sort, and we all fail to take into account just how much every little sin requires washing away by the blood of Christ.
If you look at the Greek in 1John 1:7, the verse is in the present continuous tense - it never stops washing away sin.
Sorry about the little sermon. I just assume many don't know that because I didn't for probably 30 years of going to church and hearing many good sermons, but few showing me just how good our God is.

Thank you, brother. Please do not apologize for offering wisdom, really appreciate it.
He is certainly good as I fail short every single day, yet he keeps me clean with his sacrifice. God bless you.
