“Look, you’re going to have to forgive everyone, including yourself.” - Horace McMillon
(Jim Henson has a similar quote.)
Every single one of us has fallen short. Every one of us has missed the mark. (Romans 3:23). We don’t say this to make anyone feel guilty. We don’t say this to shame anyone.
What happened to us wasn’t right. It wasn’t ok. What we did wasn’t right. It wasn’t ok. Perhaps we didn’t know any better. Perhaps, mentally and emotionally, we simply couldn’t do better. Perhaps we just didn’t do better. I don’t know.
I do know that life can only be lived going forward. The pain of guilt, shame, and regret, of anger and bitterness is only useful to us in that it alerts us that something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Once it’s done its job, let it go.
That’s where the idea of being born again is so helpful to us. It gives us a clear demarcation of our past and our present. God has already forgiven us. It’s up to us to forgive each other including ourselves.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
