Remorse and Anger

Remorse and Anger are in all of us.  They are like sin defense apps that were factory-installed by our Creator, God.

Remorse is like malware defense.  It creates in us a desire to NOT sin.

Anger or Indignation creates in us a desire to remove sin from the world around us - or at least to combat it, as there is no way we could ever remove it.

As long as we continue to walk in the Spirit and let the Lord control these parts of our character, they will serve us well.  But trouble comes when we allow Satan to sneak into our minds and hearts.  He uses these two very important attributes in a way that flies in the face of their intended purpose.  I believe it's one of his favorite things to do - use our own gifts against us.
