R T Kendall's book is proving to be very good. He says that there are ten reasons why we should forgive ourselves and these include: Because that is precisely what God wants us to do: because you will have inner freedom from the bondage of guilt: because our physical health can be at stake, and it enables you to fulfil all God has in mind for you and keeps you from being paralysed by the past.

It's all really powerful stuff that makes a lot of sense. God really does want the best for us but sometimes we are just too stuborn to see it.
