"Forgiving Yourself Can Be Hard"

Then he (Pilate) at the request of the people set Barabbas free. But Jesus was beaten with whips and handed over to the soldiers to be crucified.

Matthew 27:25‭-‬26 NCV

The people decided to have Barabbas set free, and to have Jesus crucified. 

Have you ever made a decision based on what you thought you wanted at the time?...

But that one decision ended up hurting someone else and now, you can't take it back, all you can do is try to live with the consequences that followed.

Jesus knows what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that type of hurt, that type of pain.

But yet, He asked The Father to forgive them, because they didn't know what they were doing...Any more than you knew what you were doing.

Luke 23:34 NCV

Be willing to forgive yourself. 

SOMEBODY: You are not the bad person THE DEVIL has made you out to be.

There is forgiveness in God for you, but is there forgiveness in YOU for you?

Even if the person you hurt won't forgive you, the way that Jesus forgave those that hurt Him....Can you forgive yourself?

Heal for yourself.

Think About This:

David knowing what happened with Bathsheba started with Him...He initiated it, he made the first move. He could've went to her in private and apologized for blowing her life

 up. We don't know....

But what the bible does openly share in Psalms 51 is how David went before the Lord asking HIM to create and to renew the parts of him that caused him to sin.

Basically, David was asking the Lord to help him be a better man than the man he had been...And that's all you can do.

That's all you can do....Get alone with the Lord and WORK ON YOU .

Selah -Pause & Think About That.

Until Next Sunday.
