You know God forgives you... but can you ever forgive yourself?
Do you feel like your past mistakes are a permanent stain on your soul? You might be able to quote every Bible verse about God's mercy, yet you still wake up with a heavy knot of regret in the pit of your stomach. You tell yourself you’ve been forgiven, but your heart hasn't received the memo.
When you find it hard to forgive yourself, it’s tempting to try and "earn" your way back into God’s favor. You end up on a hamster-wheel of performance, serving Him out of religious obligation and guilt rather than gratitude and grace.

Even though I knew that God forgave me of my sins when I would ask for his forgiveness I was still beating myself up every day for not being perfect. This book helped me tremendously on realizing that God doesn't expect me to be perfect and already knew that I wasn't going to be but yet he still chose me.
