  2. Forgiveness – • Release and grace Let it go Give favor “You can’t forgive without loving. And I don’t mean sentimentality.I don’t mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it.’” “He who has been forgiven little loves little”

  3. “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we areless prone to hateour enemies.”

  4. Forgiving Self– • Release and grace Hard to forgive self Has God forgiven me?

  5. How to Forgive Self– • 1 John 1:6-10 Face the facts honestly If you claim….sin is no big deal Embrace the full cleansing of sin If you claim….it’s not my fault Allow the word to work in your life If you claim….it’s really not a sin

  6. How to Forgive Self– • A life of repentance and confession • Ignoring my sinfulness leads to false security – living a lie. Acknowledging my sinfulness and trying to fix it leads to frustration Acknowledging my sinfulness, and placing it in God’s hands, leads to walking in the light

  7. How much more thenwill the blood of Christ …cleanse our consciences …so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 9:14

  8. A Hymn to God the Father Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun, Which was my sin, thoughit were done before? Wilt thou forgive that sin, through which I run, And do run still,though still I do deplore? John Donne  1623 When thou hast done, thou hast not done, For I have more.

  9. A Hymn to God the Father • Wilt thou forgive that sin which I have won • Others to sin, and mademy sin their door? Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun A year or two,but wallow'd in, a score?   John Donne  1623 When thou hast done, thou hast not done, For I have more.

  10. I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun My last thread, I shall perish on the shore; But swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son  Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore; And, having done that, thou hast done; I fear no more.

  11. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do this I keep on doing. What a wretched man I am!Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! Therefore, there is now no condemnationfor those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 7:18,19,24,25; 8:1
