“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9a
Why is accepting grace so difficult? Because it requires us to admit we were wrong. Self-forgiveness is often the first step to accepting God's forgiveness. If we can't admit that we are imperfect and full of flaws, we only increase the difficulty in forgiving ourselves, while also increasing the negative impact of bitterness and resentment on ourselves.
Lord, thank You for forgiving me and now help me to realize I am a lovable mess and allow me to forgive myself.
