I must forgive myself
To free myself
From a shame
I don’t deserve
I’m reclaiming
The promise
Of Jesus
Who came
To replace
The perfectionist
That resides in me
Quiet my mind
Still the soul
Replace fear
Of mistakes
And rejection
With pride
For conquering
Not retreating
Beautiful lines! Wonderful Post! Have a great day!

Forgiveness of ourselves and others is a gift.
ReplyDeletequieting the mind is quite difficult in this day and age! Be well and just breathe
ReplyDeleteGreat words for every day.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Rue!
ReplyDeleteUgh, the perfectionist tendencies get us every time. Only Jesus was perfect. We won't attain that this side of heaven. Have a great evening!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! So encouraging.
ReplyDeleteOh how often we fear outcomes instead of letting Christ quiet our minds to continue forward. Well said Regine

Sometimes are are too hard on ourselves. We can forgive others but not ourselves. Thought -provoking poem, humans are not meant to make mistakes, I know cos I have made a lot!. Keep well
ReplyDeleteIt's far harder for me to forgive myself than anyone else.

ReplyDeleteWonderful words and thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteLearn to love yourself and let yourself relax.
