Sometimes we think that we are unworthy of being forgiven for the wrongs that we have committed. Sometimes it is very hard to forgive ourselves for past mistakes. Sometimes we feel as if we need to punish ourselves for the wrongs we have committed, so we go into self-destruction. What is hard for us to believe is that there is nothing we have ever done, sin performed, or horrible situation that we have been in that we are not forgiven. Now let that sink in. We are forgiven! Jesus the Christ came into this world for our sins. We are forgiven—always and forever. We just need to go to God in prayer, talk to Him about it, and accept His forgiveness—then forgive and love our self as God does. Which can be hard to do, because in our eyes we see the offense as something that cannot be forgiven. Learning to accept God’s forgiveness is the KEY. Sometimes, we just have to keep going back to God in prayer, until one day we truly realize we are forgiven. Romans 8:38-39 reads, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our LORD.” God loves you. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life and the forgiveness of their sin.” (John 3:16) God loves you. God forgives you. God is with you always and forever. GOD forgives you! Now believe it. You are forgiven…You are loved…You are a beloved child of God. God Bless. Amen.
