My Life 365

We’re often taught to forgive others but sometimes we forget ourselves that we, too, need forgiveness. Not from someone else, but from within. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made. For the promises you broke to yourself. For the times you weren’t committed to your own growth. Forgive yourself even for the hurt you may have caused others. It’s a painful thing to be forgiven by God or by others, yet still carry guilt inside. When in truth, you should be the first to show yourself compassion and grace. Let it go... the guilt, the accusations, the weight of your past. Release it. Choose to forgive yourself. Just in case you're wondering how to forgive yourself... Below here are steps to forgive yourself: Admit what happened:  Be honest about your mistake don’t ignore it or exaggerate it. Take responsibility:  Accept what you did, but remember: you made a mistake but you are not the mistake. Feel it, don’t hide it:  Allow yourself to feel guilt, but don’t let it t...

So, there's this day I was living my day as usual and out of the blue I had a nudge in my spirit to pray for someone close to me. By that time I had that nudge, she was in an exam but I blushed it off and didn't care about it. Here is the thing that happened... I  heard the nudge, I thought of her specifically but I didn't do anything about it. (And the Holy Spirit has already communicated) So, later I came to learn that she had failed the exam on the last phase of the exam (By the time I heard the nudge, she was around the final phase of the exam) and hearing her side of story it was kind of unfair how she failed because basing what she did/how she responded she was supposed to pass. I immediately connected all dots and realized that it was the Holy Spirit who prompted me to pray for her because the enemy had aimed to steal her victory.
