Forgiving Myself

Using this study, God has destroyed a simple but VERY POWERFUL lie that had a hold on my life. Even after knowing the Lord for 29 years I was filled with fear, anxiety, anger, bitterness and unforgiveness. Through this study God showed me that the root of unforgiveness and its effect on my life was the lie that "I needed to somehow learn to forgive myself for the abortion that I had almost 31 years ago".

I harboured unforgiveness in my heart toward myself. Because of this, no matter how hard I tried to walk in forgiveness toward others, I could could not sustain a forgiving heart - I was bound in unforgiveness. The truth is that NOWHERE in God's word does He call me to, ask me to, or command me to forgive myself. HE ALREADY DID THAT AT THE CROSS! His forgiveness IS ALL I NEED!

The Lord opened my eyes to this truth through this study and my life can never be the same. I AM FORGIVEN - THEREFORE I FORGIVE OTHERS! He has indeed used this study to set the captive free. I am eternally grateful to our great and loving Father, who knows what we need and exactly when we need it. He knew I needed this study and He knew that this was the perfect time.
