       Even if other people still think of any sin we’ve committed and of which they know about at the time they think about us or see us, that’s their problem. Frequently people who are quick to bring to mind the sin of others are those who are either full of pride in themselves, in their ability to perform, and think highly of themselves, or they are of those of which the opposite is true, they hate themselves and are trying to bring everyone down to what they feel is their level. It is important that we accept ourselves, by the way. When we accept ourselves it is so much easier to give grace to others. It is not our job to be constantly seeking for others to like us, to be happy with us in life. During our lives, no matter who we are, we are not always going to be approved by everyone all the time. That’s just not going to happen. It’s not wrong to want to be liked by people, but to always be liked all the time is just a burden no one needs to try to bear. We have to give God this area of our lives.
