The longer I walk this Christian path myself, the more I am starting to think that God is all-loving and all-forgiving (yes, up to the point of universalism), and it's us ourselves that struggle to forgive our own selves, but that's not the reaction of the God who is made of love, because that's not what love feels like. I may not be right at all -- faith is almost the opposite of certainty -- but over the years I have studied the God I meet in prayer more than I have studied the bible, and this is where I have ended up. I'm glad you wrote this, though, because I was definitely thinking about it for the prompt, but I didn't think I would have something meaningful to say about it, and instead went with something a little more carnal that's been pre-occupying my thoughts. That's the thing with prompts that are really obvious, there's not always an angle from which to come at it sideways. But brava!
