I struggled on the hamster wheel of repentance for many years; unable to forgive myself for the things that I had said and done that hurt my loved ones.
I had a simple but profound revelation, "How could I love my neighbor as myself, if I did not love myself enough to forgive myself?” God had forgiven me and it was about time that I forgave myself.
Yes, this is so true. Not only must we learn to forgive others, we must also forgive ourselves. God has forgiven us. Therefore, we must accept it and forgive ourselves. Living in guilt is no way to live.
Thank you for sharing this great insight! It is a great revelation!
One thing I often think of when I remember the past things I've done is that it isn't God who is reminding me of them. God has washed them clean and has forgotten my sins. They have been forgiven. Therefore, it is Satan that is reminding me of them. "When Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future." That always turns my trip down memory lane into a chuckle.
"When Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future." Great advice! Shalom my brother!
Yes, it is useful to remember.
To love others as ourselves is impossible with our human flesh, but with God nothing is impossible. Thanks for sharing
Yes, is we love through God in us then we can love others as God loves them.
If we forgive others, God will forgive us. If we don't forgive others, God won't forgive us.
In the verse above, love seems on the surface easier than forgiveness. Both are valid ideas/concepts to ponder. It's like we need to peel back layer by layer all the ideas that don't serve these important requirements by God, the Father.
Take care and God bless!
Yes, "forgive and you will be forgiven". It is an important point to remember that many people overlook. We must always forgive others if we want to be forgiven. This is because we are to act like God. Since God forgives, we must also forgive.
Thanks for your great insight!
Good verse! Thank you for post
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the verse!
Thanks for this post. I am reminded of a message I read before: “To do the will of God is to love.”
Yes, one of the greatest ways we can show our love for God is to do His will.
I agree😀

I've been thinking so much about this law exactly. People offend me so much but i choose forgive them immediately. What comes to my mind is how God loves us so much. This shouldn't be hard for us to obey i think.
Yes, we always must be willing to forgive others. Thank you for your insight!
