"Forgiving Ourselves"

   Last week we talked about forgiving others when they hurt us - but how do you work towards forgiving yourself when you have deeply wounded someone whom you love? Do you find it easy to say "I'm sorry" but hard to follow it up with your actions? Or do you not say anything, thinking if you ignore the hurt then it will go away? Do you have a community of people who surround you with prayer as you seek forgiveness and reconciliation? 
    I offer to you not answers, but hard questions from yesterday sermon: what guilt of damaged relationships are you carrying around? Who do you need to say “I’m sorry” to? What unconfessed sins do you need to bring before God?
