Forgiving Me
Forgiving yourself for sins, poor choices, or the ways you’ve caused others pain is certainly hard. It’s scary to forgive yourself, but you’re worthy of forgiveness.

Forgiveness, and choosing acceptance rather than resentment, brings freedom. Freedom from resentment, bitterness, and anger. Forgiveness allows us to choose again.

It allows us to integrate our trauma into our lives and not let the trauma or unforgiveness rule our behavior anymore.
