Are You Sorry?

"I'm sorry.  It was completely my fault.  These words are very familiar.  Most of us have repeated them  many times to our spouse, to our friends, to our teachers, and to those who are closest to us - our family.

But what about to ourselves?  Are there things in your life that you won't forgive yourself for?  Are there unspoken sins and transgressions that bring humiliation and shame?  God doesn't want us to live like that.  That's the whole purpose of redemption, freedom, and new life.  He gives us a second chance.

It's time to give yourself the grace you would give another.  Forgive yourself of any words or actions that you regret.  Make recompense if necessary and move past that part of your life.  Give serious thought to housecleaning your soul.  Everyone will profit from it especially you.
