I knew in my head that Jesus paid it all, and yet my heart still carried the weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why I recorded this episode of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alita Reynolds Show<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s the final part of our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding Freedom Through Forgiveness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> series, it\u2019s the most personal. I open up about my own journey with self-forgiveness and how the Lord patiently walked me into true freedom.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe title=\"You\u2019re Still Punishing Yourself\u2026 But Why?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KMmMYJjX-u8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\u00a0<\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Maybe you\u2019ve been there too, rehashing old mistakes, silently condemning yourself, or feeling unworthy of God\u2019s love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Here\u2019s the truth: when we choose to forgive ourselves, we\u2019re not saying our sin didn\u2019t matter. We\u2019re saying that Jesus\u2019s sacrifice was enough. His grace is greater than our shame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">We unpack how to live in the freedom Jesus offers, without dragging around the chains of past regrets. We talk about the difference between conviction and condemnation, how unforgiveness opens the door to the enemy, and how to finally close that door, once and for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If you\u2019ve been carrying guilt or silently suffering under the weight of your past, I really want to encourage you: take time to watch the full episode. Let it speak to your heart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You don\u2019t have to stay stuck in shame. There is freedom available and it starts with accepting what God has already declared over you: forgiven, redeemed, and deeply loved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m wildly cheering you!<\/p>\n<p>Alita<\/p>\n<p>@alitareynolds<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.agent=\"plkajabi\";n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n                                                                      document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '1615217018782581');\nfbq('track', \"PageView\");<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenoffaith.com\/blog\/you-re-still-punishing-yourself-but-why\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever struggled to forgive yourself, I want you to know, you\u2019re not alone.
