Hey guys,
I know nobody's checked the blog in a while, but I wanted to post a thought I had during church the other day to garner some comments if you do happen to log on.
We were talking about forgiveness in church, and how it is freeing to forgive people for wrongs they've committed against you. I notice that of all people, I have the hardest time forgiving myself. In fact, I find myself repeating in my mind regrettable decisions I've made, encounters I've had, and other experiences that have done damage to me. I'm coming to realize that although it sounds like humility in my head, it is really a form of ingratitude for and inacceptance of the Lord Jesus' sacrifice for me, and a lie I've been told.
I'm having a hard time reconciling my automatic thoughts with my belief that I am also forgiven.
I wonder if you struggle with this too?
Powell
