I agree, only God can move us in the ways of forgiveness and love and mercy. All of us sin and fall short of His Glory, but can rest in the knowledge that He forgives us and loves us just the same. It is overwhelming to say the least!<br />Blessings always!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-6935887370906744532012-05-27T03:03:26.521-07:002012-05-27T03:03:26.521-07:00This is one of the most touching posts I've ev...This is one of the most touching posts I've ever read. Your reflections made me go back to a movie I watched several years ago. The adultress said to Jesus, "I'm a sinner," and Jesus said, "You were."<br /><br />OMG!

And, it's so dangerous to, as you said, "equate Him with ourselves".

I said yes i did many times. He asked and don't you trust Him when He tells you he forgave you already?Nikky44https://www.blogger.com/profile/06725453458357123087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-79178750432438924192012-05-24T11:41:39.045-07:002012-05-24T11:41:39.045-07:00Yes, I agree - forgiving ourselves and/or forgetti...Yes, I agree - forgiving ourselves and/or forgetting a past sin is much more difficult than forgiving others.

The Ralphie one was such a good analogy. I know you are talented, but reading several in a row just reinforces that thought.
