forgiving yourself...

Romans 8:1
There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

In life there will be times we make mistakes... times we are careless... times that we do things we regret... however when we find ourselves in a situation of guilt and grieve of our carelessness or our failures or mistakes or even sin... we need to give it to God... if we have been careless... we need to say God... I made a mistake... I give it to you... i give you my grief and i trust you for restoration.... help me not commit the same carelessness... if we sin against GOd, we need to repent and go thru a period of godly sorrow if the sin is very serious and after that we need to receive God's mercy and forgive ourselves.... I know of a great man of God who got a divorce at an early age and was clearly going thru a time of confusion and sadness... He could not forgive himself as the stigma stick by him... he went thru depression for afew years until one day God told him that GOd has a plan B for that man and God wants to restore him... of course God's restoration and love is not a liscense to sin... but this man clearly was goin thru great depression and confusion... he thought his life was over... however this man decided to receive God's mercy and GOd began to do a restoration work in him and today his son took over his ministry and it became the largest church in america... He was John Osteen... friends... whatever mistakes you have made, if you have repent of it and give it to God... you need to receive God's mercy and restoration... God doesnt condemn you... HE loves you.... receive the mercy of God today...
forgive yourself... dun let the devil falsely accuse you for he is the accuser of the brethren... God doesnt condemn you... you are the righteousness of God in Christ...

2Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we miught become the righteousness of God in Him.

Ephesians 1:6
to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
