It is I, I, who wipe out, for my own sake, your offenses; your sins I remember no more. Isaiah 43:25

For I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:12

I have too many sins beyond redemption.

I may make a uneasy peace but someday God and I will have to talk through them.

That is a good question, some people can forgive themselves easy enough but it is usually those who have not done much or at least think they have done nothing wrong which is a different story.

God tells us that we must forgive others their sins against us in order for our sins to be forgiven.

The scripture tells us that if we have broken one law we have broken them all which leads us to convince ourselves that one sin is as bad as another.

As far as god is concerned that is probably true and when we are forgiven by God we are in the same place in eternity as if we had not sinned, just as the ones with lesser sins.

The problem is that we still have to finish out our life here on earth, we still have to live with our selves,
so what we have done may be erased from Gods book but it can not be erased from our hearts and minds.

I find it easy to forgive those who have done me wrong, but forgiving myself is a different story, i can not do that.
