hey angel,

forgiving ourselves is one of the hardest things to do cuz the enemy whispers those things to us over and over and over again to try to keep us in the bondage of shame and guilt. Its a very heavy load. His grace is sufficient, sis....and His mercy covers all. When the enemy whispers to you...remember that Christ's blood is enough...that's how we fall in love with Him...because of what He did out of His love for us..when we would never ever have been able to earn or deserve it.

Keep fighting the good fight, sis. One day at a time....time to let it all go and give it to Jesus. Lay it at the foot of His cross and leave it there.

love you, girl.

in Jesus,
love momo *Halo*

Hey Angel...forgiving ourselves is usually one of the hardest parts of these steps...because we tend to continually beat ourselves up...thinking we should have known better..but in reality...the enemy is so very sneaky and he comes up and says gotcha before we can even think sometimes...so when you find yourself making an error...place it at the feet of Jesus and repent and forgive yourself and get back up. It's all about the race sis...gotta finish it. :)

luv ya

I know we want to be perfect so we don't have to rely on grace.

But that's not the way it works.

His grace is sufficient.

When we apply grace (being forgiven when we don't deserve it) we are putting to work the efforts of Christ when he shed his blood on the cross.

A brother here once told me, don't think about what you did, think about what you want to do. :)

Forward, not backward sis.
