What is wrong with me? If I know that forgiveness is my problem you would think that it would come more easy after all the experience that I have. Nope. It is still one of the hardest things that I deal with. The hardest is forgiving myself.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different resultThat is exactly what I have been doing. Repeating past mistakes instead of learning from them. The struggle with forgiveness goes right along with that. The thing that I have to tell myself is that
1. If God can and did forgive me. Sent His ONLY Son to die for ME and I wasn't even born yet God knew that the Human Race needed Jesus. GOD loved us so much that He did that for all of us. How can I DARE think that I am not worthy of forgiveness from myself or anyone when He did that for me showing me just how worthy I am.
2. In Christ I am a new creation. I am not the same Andrea I was before Christ came to live in my heart. I am a child of God. How can I slander myself when I know how deeply God loves and that He created me. I should be more ashamed of the fact I can't see myself past my mistakes when God wiped it all clean by the Blood of Jesus Christ. It like saying that His ultimate sacrifice wasn't enough. How dare I?!
God has forgiven me and now I need to move past this bump in the road and learn from it.
A quote from a song " Heal the wound but leave the scar, a reminder of how merciful You are"This is the truth.
I have been set free. Not only from sin but from the devils hold on my insecurities. God made me the way I am for a reason. He has a purpose for me. I need to trust in Him and have faith and patience that He will show me when He knows I am ready. He knows me better than I know myself and He knows what my future holds.
Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean NOT on your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5
Trust. Hope. Faith
and know
I have been...
SET FREE!!
