So many times we attempt to self-medicate ourselves with sin. As one author pointed out it is like pouring water into buckets with holes and reminded me of the scripture in Jeremiah:
Jeremiah 2:13 KJ2000 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed themselves out cisterns,

There is no doubt we sometimes mess up in life and when faced with shame we are tempted to get out our whip and beat ourselves up.
I too have fought my battles with forgiveness, but thankfully I have beaten that devil to death and won. To illustrate let’s imagine you have a small beautiful loving
