Self-Forgiveness

Self-forgiveness is sometimes difficult for me. Not all the time, but sometimes. I think that Sarah Parsons is on the mark when she notes that we can often be kind and forgiving toward others but hold ourselves to a higher standard for some reason, and therefore find it hard to forgive ourselves. My question to myself then is, "Who made you so high and mighty that you think that you can't forgive yourself?" I try to ask this gently of myself....and remember the psalm (46) that says, "Be still and know that I am God." Are you growing in forgiving--others and yourself?
