Your Question:
How can I forgive myself for not being able to provide?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of self-blame and guilt that's been bearing down on you. As someone who's walked with Christ for many years, I want to share with you the truth that God's forgiveness is not just for others, but also for ourselves. When we confess our sins and repent, we're not just telling God we're sorry, but also turning away from that sin and choosing to live a different life. You see, forgiveness is not just about what others do for us, but also about what God does for us through Jesus Christ. The cross is the unmistakable evidence of God's forgiveness, and it's a gift that we can freely receive. When we accept this gift, we're not just freed from guilt and shame, but also empowered to forgive ourselves and others. As someone who's struggled with my own failures and shortcomings, I can tell you that it's not always easy to forgive ourselves. But the truth is, God's forgiveness is not just for our external actions, but also for our internal struggles. He wants us to know that we're not defined by our mistakes, but by His love and redemption. So, my friend, I encourage you to receive God's forgiveness and to forgive yourself, not because you're perfect, but because you're loved and valued by a God who wants to set you free.
