Forgive Self

I have no authority to forgive another person. Their actions, their conscience, is their own and the result of their actions is their account. However I can forgive myself. To forgive myself means to face and acknowledge the ways that I allowed myself to be deceived, or dependent, or needy and then allowed myself to take sorrow. When I forgive myself, my feelings towards the other person change. True forgiveness means that my feelings change and I am able to genuinely give good wishes to the other person. Today let me forgive myself.
