Summary

This quote suggests that when God forgives us for our shortcomings or mistakes, it is important for us to also forgive ourselves. By not forgiving ourselves, we place ourselves in a position of judgment that surpasses God's forgiveness. This implies that we should align our forgiveness with that of a higher power, realizing that if we are absolved by God, we should learn to show ourselves the same compassion and let go of any guilt or self-condemnation. Ultimately, it emphasizes the need to trust in divine forgiveness and avoid dwelling on self-imposed judgments.
