I didn’t know where I was headed, but I knew the One who would get me there.
“It's not our job to forgive ourselves. We can't. We don't have the power. We don't have the ability. We don't have the right standing with God for that. Forgive ourselves? Really? How would anybody actually go about doing that? If you could forgive yourself, there would be no need for Jesus, right? And if there's no need for Jesus, then this whole Christianity thing is false and we have wasted our lives.”

“When we hide the mess we've been through, we also hide the redemption that God has lavishly poured on us. We can't proclaim His grace until we expose our mess.”

“When you walk around feeling as though you need to forgive yourself, what you're saying to God is that His sacrifice wasn't enough. His only Son dying on a cross for your sins wasn't enough. More is needed for you to feel forgiven. So, by your continual yearning to forgive yourself, you are actually creating a life where Jesus' blood and sacrifice aren't enough, leaving yourself essentially a works-based religion to follow, where if you could just do a few more "good things," you could possibly begin to forgive yourself.”
