Hello Everyone,
I have a friend with whom I constantly debate. One debate was about forgiveness and just what that means when it comes to God forgiving us. We disagreed on some points, but let me share my point with you.
Stop self condemnation and believe that God Forgives. I think it is hard for some to believe they have been forgiven for doing something wrong, because, they feel the need to badger themselves to keep from doing it again. Here is the thing, if you have asked God to forgive you and you truly are remorseful, then why not believe that it is done. O.k., self badgering is a mechanism as a reminder not to do it again, but if you have been forgiven that is enough. Just to know that God Himself loves you and with His sincere heart has answered your request of forgiveness, is freedom from what has been done.
Believe in your heart what is asked of Him. It is not something that has to be publicized or told to anyone, just you knowing that your talk with the Father was sincere is worth its weight in gold. God really loves us, He made us and does not want us to not get beyond our faults, but to acknowledge the error in our ways, not repeat it and move on. He looks forward to our happiness and to see us be whole, not broken and guilt ridden. His love is never ending and He believes in us. So, we must learn to grow and flourish and not feel that God is dwelling on our errors, for it is us that actually do that, keeping us bound to regret and guilt. It does not get us any where and slows progress and joy. God's love is great and extends itself beyond mistakes. Once He forgives, we must be thankful and leave it alone.
