Last week I shared a post on forgiveness; and how God was leading me to forgive others, especially my ex-wife. Now I’m learning a new lesson – how to forgive myself and accept forgiveness from others. This is actually a harder lesson for me. It requires a lot of humility to be able to accept forgiveness from another. Forgiveness is something that we cannot earn and we don’t deserve; but it is something that we need in order to live a happy and fulfilled life. If we continue to struggle with regret for our past mistakes, we may not have truly forgiven our self; at least that is how it is with me. Regret is constantly reminding me of my past mistakes and failures; especially with the offences I made against those I care about the most. Part of it may also be the result of feeling worthless; which is another lie from Hell. There is also pride mixed in with it; it is hard to look in the mirror and see the log in my own eye when I have been criticizing others for the speck in their eye. I hope and pray that I learn this lesson and I hope that there may be some encouragement to you as well. Make it a great day!
