We've all made mistakes and wrongful deliberations, some of us have not forgiven ourselves. But is it our place as humans to determine whether or not we are unforgivable, seeing as we were made in God's image? How does one go about forgiving themselves anyway?

In my case specifically, I remained silent about childhood sexual abuse for 14 years, resulting in my younger siblings being privy to different degrees of the same thing. Struggling to convince myself I DON'T deserve the millstone. No pity or apologies please, I just need insight.

God loves us so much that He has allowed us free choice. Inherently, the gift of freedom means the right to make mistakes. Otherwise it wouldn't be called Liberty in the first place.

In that sense, mistakes are Godly. Its how we learn. That's inalienable.

Can't know cold without hot. Can't know here with no there. We would not know pleasure without the opposite. Being what we call imperfect is perfect.

One good thing is: God is so big you can't miss Her.
