I have never teared up over a verse before

Wow... the verse coupled with your words spoke to me.

I have exactly the same problem that makes peace ever so elusive from my grasp. Recently I had been rather busy to even think about it, but I know that, in my typical fashion, I just kept all those memories somewhere where I will proceed to pick them up again once I am not so busy anymore.

I know God forgave me a long time ago, and so did the others, but I find it hard to forgive myself. There are times when I think that I have freed myself from that bondage, but I keep going back. It's only through the grace of God that I can start to move on at all.

Thank you for sharing that, dear. Truly, you had been a blessing - I am especially touched with these words of yours... Help me to stop looking at myself, only at my reflection in Your loving eyes.

These are such sweet words and I will add them in my LJ memories so I can go back to them whenever I feel the urge to remember the past sins that God had already forgiven me from.

Thanks again. God bless you. ^_^

This post came at a time when I really needed it, so thank you. I've been struggling with depression and self-injury for a long time now, and I've held on because I'm afraid to forget, or to give up this big piece of myself. I've held onto it for so long because I just don't feel like God can do anything with me. Which is why these words really touched me: "I am sorry for insulting you, thinking I am beyond Your ability to repair."

These past few weeks, I've felt God closer to me, asking to be let in again. I've been so unsure of what I was strong enough to do, but those words helped me. I have to let go, or I can't move forward. I can't have it both ways. I need to trust Him to forgive and heal me.
