Forgiving Yourself
Many times, your own mistakes are the hardest to accept. Somehow, it is easier to forgive someone else than it is to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, but it is how you deal with them that matters most. Just because you made a mistake does not mean you are a mistake, nor does it mean that all is hopeless. When you’re discouraged, down and out, and feel like a failure, lean on Jesus. He alone can sustain you and give you the strength and courage you need to go on. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” No one is exempt from heartache and pain, but the good news is that everyone gets a fresh start every day to be a better person than they were yesterday. You cannot break a person who gets their strength from God. Forgiving yourself may be a struggle, but remember that God has the power to turn a mess into a message, a test into a testimony, a trial into a triumph, and a victim into a victory! Quiet the negative messages in your head by dwelling on just how much Jesus loves you. Claim God’s promise in Romans 8:37-39: “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Instead of getting discouraged and beating yourself up when you make a mistake, strive to be like a sunflower so that even on your darkest days, you will stand tall and find the sunlight. Text: Psalm 103:10-11, Romans 8:1, Philippians 3:13, Psalm 32:5
