Listen! God is at least as gracious with you as He expects you to be towards others. Why do I say that? Because often, we beat ourselves up for our own mistakes, doubting that God will be gracious. We know Jesus taught us to forgive seventy times seven times. But when He said this, He was not asking us to do something He would not be willing to do Himself. This assurance does not mean that we can carelessly continue sinning, but it does mean that when we genuinely repent and come to Him, He will not turn His back on us in an offended manner. So, instead of doubting His mercy, trust in His willingness to forgive and restore you, just as He expects you to forgive and show grace to others.
