Do you ever have trouble forgiving yourself?

Nancy DeMas Wogamuth has good news.

Scripture doesn't ask you to forgive yourself.

Doesn't tell you to forgive yourself.

You won't find that anywhere in Scripture.

It says, your sins, which are many, have been forgiven.

You can't forgive your own sins, but God can.

Jesus can. He paid the price for your sins.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Brokenness for May 28, 2021.

I'm Danaegresh. Do you know what it's like to be birthed with guilt and shame?

and transcript for each episode on our website, Revive our.com or on the Reviver Hearts app. Here's Nancy.

but it's assumed that it stands for adultery. And so Hester lives for years as her little girl

grows up with public humiliation and shame. Now, the father of the child, as it turns out, is

also the minister of Hester's church.

His name is Arthur Dimmesdale.
