I used to wake up feeling guilty and condemned. I was full of judgment and criticism for every little mistake I made. But that outlook creates pressure inside of us that is apt to explode in the face of the first person who comes around.


If you struggle his way, begin your day by reading the Word. Knowledge of God’s mercy and forgiveness is vital in learning to love yourself so that you can love others, Live today to its fullest potential.

2 Corinthians 8:9 ~ (KJV)​
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.​
 
For months i was struggling with forgiving myself. and i didn't even realize that i was doing it. i felt like the worse person in the world. why ask God for forgiveness when i'm just going to go home and mess up again. why even try when i'm such a screw up I can't get anything right. I was totally depressed. went back to cutting again and was crying every chance i was alone.

then one day my pastor was praying for people during an alter call. i can't even remember what he had been preaching about but i don't think it had anything to do with what i was going through. my pastor put his hand on my shoulder and told me that God hasn't given up on me so don't need to give up on myself. that he still loves me just as much as he did when i first met him and hes waiting for me to come to him. hes not keeping track of all the things i'm doing wron hes just waiting for me to grow."


i cried so much. >_< but it made me get back up and start living a christian life again. i was just waiting for life to be over and now i have something to live for again.
