Thank you for the useful information. "...knowing who you are allows you to live up to what you’ve already attained." However, the living up part can be sooo hard! How to overcome for example claustrophic reactions. By prayer alone? By deliverance? But who will help because doing it on one's own can be tricky, can it not? Trevor, I have read them now! Thank you for the useful information.

However, the living up part can be sooo hard!

How to overcome for example claustrophic reactions. By prayer alone? By deliverance? But who will help because doing it on one’s own can be tricky, can it not?

For through deflation of self, God can be the divinity of our will, thus turning our will over to the care of God. First forgiveness, then love by grace: God's will....." Then I found your web site, and the post Do I Need to Forgive Myself? Could you help me forgive myself for something within myself I am not clear about but which has all my life been.... while I was writing this sentence two words came into my mind: "withholding myself" . I never before came up with those words to describe my problem... People did tell me a few times: "It's like you are continously trying to make up for something". I wish I could more clearly explain what the problem is, but before I went on the internet I had asked God to please tell me what I should do, and self-forgiveness could be His answer. I still don't know how to apply it. Perhaps it's about releasing anger, ugly anger. It seems to be more than that, a kind of mechanism in my mind that gets triggered. I have even thought it might be a demon or some horrible reason for guilt or rebellliousness against entering life. If it had been more clear I would have probably been able to solve it by now! I would understand you have no time, receiving all the emails etc. I don't want to go to a psychiatrist! Kind regards Trevor,

My only thought that might not line up with yours is that "unconditionally" is an oft used word that I can't seem to find in the Bible. I know we're to honor all people and let no debt remain outstanding but love and that we're to "love always". I'm personally challenged to stop using the word "love" except for people and God. Thanks for sharing. Peter,

And you will only do that if your love for that person is conditional. If you haven’t taken advantage of anyone (if you love everyone uncoditionally) then there is no need to forgive yourself. “Do I need to forgive Myself?”

This is so true. I went through a major depressive time where I know Father forgave me, my wife forgave me and others forgave me; however, I could not shake this overwhelming guilt and condemnation. One day it hit me that everyone that loved me forgave me and wanted to move, but me. I couldn't forgive myself because i deemed myself unloving; therefore, unforgivable. The moment I realize the only thing keeping me from drawing closer to the ones I loved, even God, was me. That moment revolutionized my relationship building and nurturing process. Thanks for sharing this. I needed the reminder. Amen Bro! This is so true.
