Forgiving

Forgiving yourself is essential. There is a tendency in all of us to hold ourselves more accountable than we do others. Perhaps you have been one who can justify forgiving others, even for a heinous offense, yet you find no justification for forgiving yourself for an equal or lesser offense.  How can we forgive ourselves, if we believe that we are still at fault?  It's very hard, but if we believe that our Lord forgives, then we should take comfort in the fact and try to move on with the tasks waiting for us ahead.
