The forgiveness factor is free to all who will, come to the end of themselves and find a door awaiting their cry, their knock, to open wide into God’s welcoming throne room of Grace and Mercy.  In fact we can cry and God will answer our cry, personally.

God will come and pick us up and hold us, and love us.  We get there during a time of need, and as human beings (physical/soulical), lost, or even in the process of salvation we walk through seasons where we are in times of need.  So wake up and pay attention – knock or cry and get all that you need.  Forgiveness and more.

The first step as we are forgiven by God our heavenly Father is :

• to FORGIVE YOURSELF. 

• This is Key to moving in the true authority and power of God, we must forgive ourselves first.  That’s right. 

We are our own worse enemy when it comes to self-judging and self-punishing – no forgiveness in these. 

And while it is good and necessary to forgive others, if you don’t forgive yourself, you are still locked into the jail of bitterness and resentment. 

So begin with YOU, forgive YOUrself, and do so as often as necessary, especially when you do ‘dumb’ or ‘ignorant’ stuff.   

Let me restate it this way:

1.    Forgive yourself of any and all junk you may have done, felt, thought about, said, imagined, watched, ALL of it, forgive you.  Look into a mirror and practice saying I forgive myself of anything and everything I have thought, felt, spoken, done, talked about – all that I remember and all that I don’t remember, I FORGIVE ME! 

2.    Forgive everyone and anyone who has done anything to hurt you, or lied, or gossiped, or caused you trouble, pain, or loss.  Start out by writing it all down, then speak it out loud, and go until you KNOW, and you will know when you have arrived at the place of surrender. 

You know, not my will but yours, be done.

Do it so you can take the steps to check out what comes next!  

Your Blessings and Joy and Peace and Hope and Abundance – through God’s Grace, Mercy and Love – Love that never ever fails!!!

SO DO IT! FORGIVE YOU!!!!
