Get Off Your Case!
Since Jesus bore your sins on the cross, along with the hatred, rejection, and condemnation you deserved, you don't have to reject or hate yourself anymore.
Surely He has borne our griefs (sickness, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God...
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
--- Isaiah 53:4,5
My own reflection on this Thought:
*Just like our body needs a regular medical check up, we also need to do spiritual check up. When we check ourselves and it seems that we don't have any progress in our faith, we need to ask this question, " Do we still hate ourselves because we've done-in our opinion- an unforgivable sin?"
If there are some areas that we haven't touched before because we have a huge fear and self-hatred in those parts, we need to open ourselves further for God, so that the Holy Spirit will come and heal us. No sin is too big for God, His mercy is enough! The problem is, HAVE WE FORGIVEN OURSELVES ? (-fon-)
