If indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:10 If God has forgiven you, forgive others, forgive yourself, and then open yourself up to the good opportunities that God has for you. True, you may still have to live with consequences...But you are never required by God to live with guilt, shame, or regret. Accept that your past mistakes may have put you into the situation you are in, but quickly acknowledge the greater truth that your past mistakes - now forgiven by God - do not need to impact the decisions or choices you will make in the future.
