Hello,
I would like if you could assit me in a issue that is causing me great anxiety.
I was an atheist for many years. I have sinned in ignorance. Now after Reading scripture guilt took over me. I have commited minor property damage and took money fraudulently. Nothing really serious.
Recently I have contacted many of the involved parties. Many didn't even replied. But there is an wronged party that, years ago, I took around 350$ fraudulently. And had the intent to take another 750$ but quit.
Now I have confessed to the injured party my wrongdoings. I was prepared to face my consequences in order to put this issue into the past. The company replied and just asked me for the value I took.
After reading Leviticus 6, I decided to pay back the value plus 20% like commanded. The next day I get a call from the company telling me they were going to give me the extra money back (the 20% extra), because they can't keep it or accept it.
Now. I still feel guilty because, Zacchaeus restored more that 20%, he restored 400%. Do I have to do the same? Is it a new commandment of the New Testament? I still feel guilty because of Zacchaeus. I feel that if he did it, I have to do it, or I won't be saved.
Also, do I have to make restitution for the money I didn't took? But was about to?
Please help.
May the Father bless you.
