Hey 👋🏾 there BCU Family!
Typically, you have the option of listening to our podcast, reading the notes or both. For this post, because of the conversational format, please tune into the podcast recording and refer to the written post for the highlights and corresponding Scriptures. We pray the post blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the post!
Last time we were together, we talked about how we handled difficult conversations that are left with hurt feelings and unresolved issues, to whit, we often tend to replay the conversation in our heads over and over again. The root of the replay is lack of forgiveness which is importance and a necessity in a Christian’s life (See Matthew 18).
Let’s take a look at forgiveness for someone else. Ourselves.
Podcast highlights:
- Sometimes, we are the offending party.
- Rehearsing the situation in your heart or with others stir the embers of guilt and shame.
- These feelings ALSO come from lack of forgiveness.
- We need to forgive ourselves.
- Unless there is a victory report, replays are not of God.
Scripture to consider:
In many things, we offend all… (James 3:2).
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24).Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.. (2 Corinthians 10:5).
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1).
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8).
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer (Psalm 19:14).
What are your thoughts on what we’ve talked about? How comfortable are you with the difference between conviction (God) and condemnation from Satan, the accuser (See Revelation 12:10)? Have you forgiven yourself? Let’s talk about it in the comments section!

You definitely hit on some serious points in your podcast! Forgiveness is important to embrace, especially when it comes to forgiving ourselves. Thank God that when condemnation tries to creep in, the power and authority always prevails at shutting it down, thanks for sharing!!!
