I CAUGHT MYSELF SAYING, “I DESERVE THIS!” OVER SOMETHING FROM YEARS AGO. I FIGURED I HAD TO ACCEPT THE BETRAYAL, JUDGMENT, ANXIETY. I TOLD MYSELF IT WAS ALL FAIR; I HAD IT COMING. EVER FELT THE SAME? THAT’S SHAME. IT’S A LIE POSING AS ACCOUNTABILITY. GOD ISN'T PUNISHING YOU. HE’S NOT WAITING FOR YOU TO FEEL BAD LONG ENOUGH TO RECEIVE GRACE. SURE, YOU CAN’T ALWAYS (OR EVEN OFTEN) EXPECT GRACE FROM PEOPLE. BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET IT FROM PEOPLE TO GIVE IT TO YOURSELF. YOU GET TO AGREE WITH GOD AND GIVE YOURSELF THE SAME GRACE, HE GAVE YOU BEFORE YOU EVER MADE A MISTAKE. BEFORE THE WORLD EVEN BEGAN.
