You really made my day. Love you and your kind supporting words!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[HeavyLiesFromAbove]

ive made terrible choices and decisions that have hurt others but i am continuously working on healing myself so that i never repeat toxic behavior!

[samuelscherban]

I’ve held so much shame and guilt over quarantine over past actions and overanalyzing my interactions. Thank you for this video 🙏

[keilah]

It must have been during a sermon that I once heard, "What is worse than the sin is the shame we carry because of it." You look lovely, Mich.

I have been a toxic girlfriend to my ex- boyfriend and I have turned away from it in a year now. I have changed, but the shame and guilt is so strong. I regret hurting him so much. He has forgiven my past actions, but I have not forgiven myself. I hope to get better soon. ❤️

i feel like i dont deserve to be happy anymore because of what i did

[neelykirksey]

I’ve been struggling so bad with mental shame and guilt. This video did so much for me. You are amazing and thank you.

[lets_ENJOY_LIVING]

I hate that I act before i think. I have a hard time letting go of my mistakes. I wish there was a way to forgive myself easier because the guilt is very draining mentally. I hope this videos helps me get that together. Thank you for this

[jaeden]

I over analyse every single thing I've said or done. I feel ashamed and guilty 247, none stop. OCD only preys on it all and makes it 10x worse than it needs to be. I feel totally trapped, completely. I really wish we could turn back time. I know people say you learn from mistakes but all I'm learning is that I'm a horrible person and don't deserve to actually enjoy life and be here.

thank u sooo freaking much.

9:59 " Forgiving yourself does not mean you think it was ok " I really need this because every time I tried and wanted to be a better person, guilt and shame attack my brain, possess my mind and body so I struggled A lot and broke down so too many times. There were always these thoughts telling me I don't deserve to know happiness ever again and honestly it led to " so why should I be alive? if unhappiness and punishment are going to be the only words I know. " For all the people I've hurt along my journey, I truly am sorry and know better now, I wish I could take all the pain I've caused you back, and I'm hoping I'll have a chance to apologize and make it up to you in person one day if we meet again.  

What I can do now is...
- finding a way to heal myself in order to become a better version of me.
- living my life carefully and trying my best not to hurt anyone.
- be patient cause it takes time.

and for those who are still struggling about your past, I just want you to know you are not alone although most of the times you might feel like that or worse.

self-forgiveness is crucial to self-compassion and reaching your goals!

[Brownsthewaytogo]

I betrayed my family by lying to them and got so scared that I lied even more and hurt so many people I’m having such a hard time forgiving myself especially when I see the affect I had on them, thank you for this video 🙏🏽

[jorgelara]

If it wasn’t for this video I wouldn’t have found Jesus in my life. Thank you for this amazing message. Guilt and shame has been holding me back with everything in life to the point I wanted to end my existence. This truly gave me another opportunity to change. To not only change, but to forgive myself from my past and to heal my damage wounds and repent to God of all the sins I’ve committed. This was a life changing experience and I am truly blessed because of this. Thank you 🥺❤️

[radhikagandhi]

wow this helped me so much. resonated so hard with me. i was a toxic horrible person i used people all the time for my own gain, but now I will do nothing but use myself to HELP others unconditionally. Its hard to let go of that guilt and shame, but I will let go of it and do only good. thank you so much.

[lolaapelt]

I think sometimes guilt and shame can really become a way of life for some people, especially women. I love how you emphasize that seeking out and having a strong relationship with the Lord will help to free us of these destructive mindsets. It's so true. Condemnation comes directly from the enemy and keeps us trapped. Conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, and helps us to understand our wrong doings and turn away from them. It's so beautiful that we are told that our loving Father forgives And forgets our sins when we cling to Him 🌺

[guyanesegal]

It's hard to forgive trust God give God the ugliest cry down and dirty cry surrender all because without forgiveness you can't see the way. I know this from experience.

[Leahmariaaaa]

I grew up in a home with a nasty father who had playboy magazines laying everywhere. It made one of my other family members take advantage of me. I have always placed the blame on myself for not stopping them. I now forgive myself for just being a little girl and realizing that yes I could’ve screamed and cried to get them off of me but I didn’t and that’s okay. I will raise my children to be better and to never subject them to such things.

[Sage_Chatwin]

A lot has happened in my past that i thought that I forgot about. But it came rushing in all at once and it made me cry. I see that me not forgiving myself has put me in the hole to many times. Now I know where to start on my forgiveness, and what I need to overcome on my journey. Thank you. <3

[Shanaevaz]

thank you your such a sweet person this helped me to forgive don't speak about what happen and speak on what you going to do to better yourself. you can't change the past just focus on making a better you.

[fridakraft]

i made many mistakes this year. i’ve done some stupid things that involve other guys while with my boyfriend. i love him so much and he forgave me for it. my forgiveness matters more to me and i feel like i’m on the right path to forgiving myself❤️
