That is the hardest thing, to forgive yourself. I have trouble with it, and fail often, but you have to realize that He knows we are going to make mistakes. But . . . He has already paid the price and He did it out of such great love, that to keep beatin ourselves up over the mistakes takes away from some of the greatness of the grace given. Realize that you will keep making mistakes. As you keep living, you keep learning and part of the learning is making mistakes. You don't expect your children to never make mistakes, you know they will. Well, we are His children and He knows that we will make mistakes. When you are no longer learning, you are no longer living. So, keep making mistakes and just say, "Thank you for loving me so much" and go on.

Psalm 103:12 - "As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us."

Last time I checked, that was pretty far. God forgives. We should too. Especially ourselves.
Blessings, Jim

Sister Diane you not alone about making a bad choices. i am too making a bad choices in my life many time. time after time i was bit down to i thought there was no hope for me. but each time prayer and reading the BIBLE, there always give me a hope to go on. just like Sister Tami say our LORD GODs Love is so great no sin can stand. when we have a Salvation, first thing justified. it is no longer called us sinner, because the our Savior precious blood paid off. i thank GOD for a HIS WORD=BIBLE. Romans5:1 "Therefore, having been justified by Faith, we have Peace with GOD through our LORD JESUS CHRIST." it is very encouragment WORD to help go on our Life. . every time i am down, couldn`t forget my selves. it is the WORD of the LORD always comfort me. give me a hope to go on. 2nd thing is senctification, the LORD GOD knows everything, even we are going to make mistake, i mean lots mistake in our Life time. that is daily senctifying from WORD of LORD=BIBLE. we need to abide in HIM. when we do abide in HIM, HE=HOLY SPIRIT teaching or correcting or convicting us to be a better person, like Christ like. each time down fall happen simplly all your true heart toward to GOD for asking for forgiveness of our sin. HE is Faithful GOD, HE will forgive us. Isaiah1:18 " Come now, and let us reason togather says the LORD, through your sins are like scarlet they shall be as white as Snow;through they are red like crimson they shall be as Wool." finelly the Glorification. we know HIM personally and abide in HIM, we became more more humble person. because it is not about me, it is all about the LORD JESUS. HIS Grace and Mercy toward us forgving all the mistake we made on this LIfe time. so we are having follwership and Wordshiping with Praising HIM. Romans 5:20 Moever the Law entered that the offense might abounded where sin abounded, Grace abounded much more." when i readed the this veres, i learn something about my sin and my selve and GOD. no matter how big sinner i am(you or anybody), the Grace and Merciful GOD is bigger then all sin. so Sister through the WORD of the LORD=BIBLE i hope you fine Faith and hope and Love more and more and you fine Peace unto you. you in my prayer. GOD Bless you and Familys and Church. <:>< mia
