Forgive yourself.

EVERYONE will mess up at some point.

Yes there will be consequences, thats life, but in order to move forward & move onto the greater things that God has for you, you MUST learn to forgive yourself. People don’t often talk about that part of forgiveness. Forgiving yourself is probably one of the hardest parts. You repented & God forgave the sin, thats over & done with. Its the forgiving yourself thats hard. Yes you messed up but don’t wallow in self pity. I’ve done that many many times. Everytime it was like God was telling me ”Listen I forgave you already. Out of your mistake I want to teach you something, but as long as you sit there & pity yourself I can’t.” We tell God “oh I messed up. You can’t use me after what I’ve done.” but who do we think we are to tell God what He can & can’t do or who He can & can’t use!? He made us, He knows us better than we could ever know ourselves. What do you think a testimony is? The most powerful testimonies are those of people that have been draggged through the mud & messed up more times than they could count. I am in no way saying that you should go out & mess up now. All I am saying is that when you do, because everyone struggles & goes through trials, you need to forgive yourself. Forget that pity party, just dust yourself off & GET UP. Through Christ we are victorious.
