All I can think of or want to write is, "I really need to forgive myself as the Lord my God forgives me". This truley makes sence and I will do this, because I want God to forgive me as I have forgiven others as well as myself.

This may seem odd or faithless, but truely believing I have forgiven myself seems like it is going to take sometime to believe. This is probably a big weakness I have in my faith in believing in what I know is true. Did that make sence?

Anyway I am going to continue on this journey with the path, hopeing I will grow in my faith to fullfill God's need for me in my life for him here on earth. I am amazed at how often during the day I think of wanting my faith to be stronger so my forgiveness of myself will be over.

More praying and reading about his greatness will help.

Until tomorrow

P.S. I don't know if this has happen to others but I missed to steps over the weekend, I know how could I, but it happened, so I just picked up where I left off and will continue on.

Not to worry, you do make sense. To forgive yourself can be hard. You can pray about forgiving yourself but from time to time those little persistant weeds creep up on you. You just have to keep on pulling out those weeds and pray for God to give you a bottle of roundup to kill those roots. . Sorry that analagy struck me funny I was picturing that commercial for Roundup but Hey it works. Just a fun way to remember to pull/kill those mental weeds we have.


Keep it up.
God Bless You.

Larry,
Sometimes forgiving ourselves is the hardest thing of all. I don't know why you think you don't deserve forgivness, but Christ does and he thought you valuable enough that he underwent torture and death for you. What's more, he prayed for you in the garden while he waited for Judas and the soldiers. Did you know that? That is how much value he put on you and now you are going to throw that in his face???

John 17:10 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. Isn't that awesome? Christ taking the time to pray for us while he waited his torture and death? You know God didn't make junk, and you are special. A DVD that I like to watch is Louie Gigilo called How Great is our God. It blew me away! He talks about the protien molecule that is the glue that holds our bodies together. It is called laminin. Google it and see what the molecule looks like. My daughter is a nurse and she said the real molecule under microcope looks just like the drawing! Then tell me that you are not special enough to forgive. I love you, but Christ loves you more. grandma
