“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:23-24 NIV Have faith in your salvation! Be strong in “loving thy neighbor” not just because you must but because you are grateful and thankful that he died for you to have the opportunity to live with him in Heaven. 🤜🏻🤛

Hey Chase, if you are a Christian as you say, then go ahead and forgive yourself since Christ would. You got this man.

I've realized that by if I don't forgive myself, I put myself in a difficult situation. By refusing to forgive myself, I'm saying Jesus died for nothing and that God isn't ALL powerful. Now I see it differently. The sins are literally *gone* (though consequences may remain). How could I continue to refuse to forgive myself over something that no longer exist to dwell over? I accept that I'm not in control of very much of anything... If anything at all. I surrender to a higher power now. All I can do is appeal to God's mercy and remain in faith of the love and sacrifices of a man I've never met and follow Him as He leads me away from who I was and no longer wish to be. You're right! I *do* got this!

Be a good human for the sake of being a good human. Don't worry if Santa Claus is judging you. Make the correct decision in the "dark" or "light".

I wasn't worrying for about 37 years, nor was I making the correct decisions... With the one exception being that I decided to return to the Church. Having gone to confession yesterday for the first time, I get to start over... Start over from the ugly comments I made not even a day prior, which, thanks to @matt and soj.ooo, remain for all to see. And I'm grateful for that level of accountability to my fellow man.

Hurt people hurt people- I believe this saying is true. Your self awareness will hopefully help in your course correction. It’s never too late to do the right thing. Be blessed.

I think we all crave justice and good to triumph over evil it's ingrained in out DNA and yeah i feel you too. I too must be held accountable and repent of my sins but there is no one here perfect or good. All are flawed efore God, and your honesty in your self reflection tells me you know right from wrong and want to do better, that's a good sign! Wish you the best in your journey, don't get to discouraged though, we all wrestle with this too.

Yes, most religions are a cult of death and you just want your god to punish people because you have no power. Listen to some philosophy.

God is oft-forgiving, All forgiving, the most forgiving, the most compassionate. The same God that wrote the destiny of a single leaf going through its life stages to grow and to fall off of a specific tree in a specific place with absolute precision and accuracy. Nothing is by accident. The same God who causes the planets to orbit the Sun in perfect motion not one going out of line, for the sun to stay in its orbit, for the galaxy and the stars to maintain their orbit all for you to live in a habitable world. Have faith, certainty and know that in every moment God is willing to forgive. Turn to God and know that it will be fine, "verily with hardship comes ease". Ask Jesus (PBUH) to intercede for you to God. You are from the community of the Messiah, have faith and remain firm.

Go and sin no more! The path before you is your way to live the life you envision as the realization of your highest purpose. Walk that path and don’t look back! Salvation through grace and choosing what you know to be right is a gift you can accept for you and the world around you. Your book is still being written, make it amazing! Your hero’s journey awaits a glorious conclusion.
