Day 28 Seeing the Truth about Yourself

I have sinned. I am Forgiven.
Two simple statements that we learned as kids in Sunday school, or if you didn't go to Sunday school, you learned as soon as you became a Christian.  Why do I/we have such a hard time recognizing the power of those statements and the far-reaching implications for all our lives?  Corrie ten Boom's story from yesterday's reading was an amazing example of forgiveness.  How she described her simple prayer and her ultimate trust and leaning on God to help her through the situation was powerful.  I have to continuously lean on God and trust that He is BIG enough to forgive me, and also through His power, I can be big enough to forgive others and not be judgmental.
