Forgiveness can be a slippery beast, for sure, particularly when we are dealing with forgiveness of ourselves. It's one of the funny things about we humans... we cling to things we have done that we see as "unforgivable." I suppose there is an element of personal "perfectionism" there; we expect ourselves to be and act in ways that well... maybe... the Good Lord Himself wouldn't even try to live up to. For me, self-forgiveness is nearly always something that follows embracing our human-ness.

Bright Blessings!
