Just acknowledge that you are not perfect, and strive to live your life in a more balanced, life-affirming way.



If you follow a particular religion, you can seek guidance from an elder if you feel the need to offer some sort of pentance for what you have done, but the biggest hurdle is in first recognizing that you have made a mistake. The next actions you do can seek to bring that gross imperfection more into balance. You will know when your life is balanced because your sense of shame will not exist.



Blessings as you walk your path.

You cant. You have to be redeemed.

Christianity is the only religion in the world that has a redeemer. All others teach that you can redeem yourself through works. But the bible says in Romans 9 that it is "not of works, lest any man should boast". If you redeem yourself, then you wouldnt have needed Jesus to sacrifice for you.

The truth is, you have already been redeemed, over 2000 years ago at calvary. Just devote yourself to God. Seek forgiveness, and stay in the word. Keep as close to the father as you possibly can each day.

Just believe he is God, and you will be saved my friend. Lay your burdens at his feet

Mathew 11:28~28"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"



And remember, you are no different than anyone else. We are all in need of a savior. Even the preachers alike.

"As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one" ~Romans 3:10

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" ~Romans 3:23

Learn from those past mistakes and move on. Everyone make's mistakes so all you can do is change your present and future. If you have done someone wrong to someone else, apologize. Make it sincere. Then don't do it again.

So? Stop doing wrong things bro..lol what's the confusion?



Then again.. if you don't mind telling us the wrong things you've done we'd be better able to diagnose your situation.

It's possible you have gone too far for redemption - can't tell from the information you provide. If you have, it's futile. If not, then with work, confession, guidance, honesty, and a new lifestyle of decency and authentic love, you may find redemption.
