--FORGIVING OURSELVES~~
--[Please Read / PSALM 103: 10 thru 14)-- 
--HAVE YOU EVER COME TO THE LORD in repentance, confessing your wrongdoing, and yet still felt guilty? Sometimes the problem is that we can't forgive ourselves. Therefore, we go into a self-punishing mode, repeatedly replaying the sin until we feel unworthy not only of pardon but also of blessings, answers to prayer, and the Father's love. Eventually we build a prison of guilt because our offense seems unforgivable.
According to the Bible, our Father freely bestows forgiveness on the basis of His Son's payment of our sin debt--and has removed our transgression "as far as the east is from the west" (Ps. 103:12).
Two men in Scripture teach us about the importance of accepting God's full forgiveness. One is Peter, who denied knowing Christ, and the other is Paul, who persecuted Christians. The Bible gives no evidence that either one of them refused to forgive himself. Although their offenses were great and both men probably regretted their actions, they received God's forgiveness and lived in the freedom of His grace.
Friend, once you have sincerely repented and confessed your sin (wrong-doing), according to God's Holy Bible, He forgives you instantly. Don't allow the devil to steal your joy. It's time to accept the Lord's forgiveness and grace. TRUST IN GOD NOT IN FEELINGS! --Keep praising the LORD JESUS. Jesus is as close as the mention of His Name. "You are loved with an everlasting love and underneath are His everlasting arms." ---"Heart Of Worship" / Phillips, Craig and Dean / < https://youtu.be/b0vgJrka3no> -------------
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
