Erasers

If you were to go and look back on what things you have done in your life up to this day, what would stand out, the good or bad? If the bad stands out, why so? Why do we find it so hard to forgive ourselves for things? There could be many different reasons for each person. But if you go look in the bible, Jesus forgave anyone who showed true repentance. And he still does to this day. He would forgive every sin imaginable for any person in the world who opens their heart and lets him in. So why can't we ever seem to forgive ourselves?

Well, I was watching a TV show not too long ago, and they talked about how an amazing gift for someone could be an eraser. Think about that for a moment.. It's not a literal eraser, but an eraser that removes the bad things we have done from our minds. A tool used to forgive ourselves for things. Why don't we all do that? Just take an eraser to something you regret having done. It is gone and in the past. Today is a new day, and what happened yesterday or three weeks ago, or five years ago doesn't matter. Those days are dead and gone, but today is here and living, and tomorrow is coming. Don't waste time and energy thinking about things regret. Learn from those mistakes instead and live your life better than you have in the past.

This is a lesson I need to learn as well, and I think many, many other people should too.
