Forgiveness
That is a powerful word. It is a word that means that no matter what you have done, you are no longer held accountable to it.
If you lie, it is like it never was spoken.
If you steal, it is as if you never have taken it.
Forgiveness is the 'Mulligan' of the spiritual golf world.
You see as Christians, we are often all too caught up with the 'forgiveness of our sins' so that our spiritual accounting is clean with God. However, Forgiveness is much more powerful than that. We have to learn to forgive ourselves.
Although we try, we will never be perfect. We have to come to grips that God loves us for who we are and who we strive to be IN HIM. Give yourself some slack. No, you are not the perfect person. Yes, you have immoral thoughts. No, you might not have said the right thing at work to your coworker. You simply have to forgive yourself.
Forgiveness is not just for those who you are forgiving... The real power is for you that forgive.
