in
dealing with the problem of self-condemnation first of all we accept GOD’s
forgiveness. and then forgive yourself. GOD wants you to forgive yourself.
have
you ever committed a sin and asked GOD to forgive you, you know HE’s forgiven
you but you still feel lousy? have you
ever felt that way? what do you do in
that situation?
proverbs
4.25 (gnb) look straight ahead with
honest confidence and don’t hang your head in shame.
have
you ever committed a sin and asked GOD to forgive you, you know HE’s forgiven
you but you still feel lousy? have you
ever felt that way? what do you do in
that situation?
do you
go back and ask HIM to forgive you again?
confess it again, over and over?
no. you only have to confess a
sin one time and it’s forgiven. but you
may have to forgive yourself a hundred times and say it over and over, “GOD’s
forgiven me. it’s over.” you may have to say it a hundred times until
finally it sinks in.
our
problem is, we want to keep reminding GOD of things HE’s already
forgotten. it’s forgiven,
forgotten. you’ve already dealt with
it.
somebody
asked eleanor roosevelt one time, “how did you accomplish so much with your
life?” she said, “i never waste time
with regrets.” you accept GOD’s
forgiveness and you forgive yourself.
just a
thought from the front porch…
