God forgives us for our past mistakes,how do we forgive our self's?

Question

you don't understand and I can't explain

Answer 1

God forgives us, ours is to accept it. The key is to learn from our mistakes and seek to do better.

Answer 2

You know what, that's the irony of it. If only all of us would be honest, we have to admit that there are certain things that we feel sorry about and we regret, that we blame ourselves for such and thinks that we deserve to be punished. If such punishment is not inflicted upon us, we tend to punish ourselves for it. Yes, we, us, we do our own self-punishment that's why there are wasted lives, there are addicts out there, there are lost souls. It's because they cannot reconcile themselves to the fact that they are only humans and as such, are fated to make mistakes.

God forgives us as long as we confess to HIM our sins and repent. How do we forgive ourselves? Accept the fact that we are humans, get sorrounded by people who truly cares and ASK for HIS GUIDANCE. Walk in HIS ways...

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5

Answer 3

"Forgive us our trespasses...as we forgive those who trespass against us"......

Can you forgive someone else? If so, you should be able to forgive yourself. You are just as human as your neighbor. As Jesus also said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself."  In this case-do the reverse. Love (forgive) yourself as you would your own neighbor.  

Answer 4

Of course, make amends by asking  forgiveness to the person  whom you erred or if that's not possible, by giving more of yourself to others. Forgetting the past, forgetting about  what has gone wrong  and  concentrate on what more good that you can do.

It's similar to a  judge sentencing a  person who erred depending on the  severity of  the crime,  by serving prison time or  do community service.  Be your own judge.

Answer 5

By trusting God of course.  If He forgives us then we must learn to forgive our own selves.  It could take time, what with our conscience and all.  But for our peace of mind, we should.  Then, of course, don't do it again - whatever it is that needs forgiving.   Otherwise,  self-forgiveness might remain an unfullfilled wish.

Answer 6

accept the fact that you've made the mistake and don't repeat it.

Answer 7

by going to confession and doing penance.

Answer 8

If your past mistake is something that can be made right then do it. Say your sorry or make up for a wrong you did. It's guilt that's keeping us from forgiving ourselves.

Answer 9

We can not go back and fix our past mistakes but we have to live and move forward by improving ourselves in areas that may have contributed to the past mistakes.

God know that we will make HONEST mistakes sometimes.

Answer 10

Its not automatic.  You gotta ask.
