In this video I read a letter I wrote to myself about forgiveness, forgiveness for the havoc I wreaked during my 12 years of manic depression, both in my life and in the lives of others.
Benni, thank you so much. even though this was posted several years ago, I believe forgiveness of oneself is a lifelong, continual process. We must know that if we ask for forgiveness and receive it from God, who is rich in mercy, we must also be willing to ask forgiveness of ourselves, and grant our own pardon. otherwise we will carry a lifelong guilt that never heals, never helps, only tears down and brings us pain and anxiety. May God grant pardon, and you grant pardon, to yourself, and move forward with a hopeful new optimism that inspires others and opens doors that once seemed locked forever. God's blessings upon you, friend
