The Lord can and will forgive anything.
Many Christians carry around incredible burdens because
of guilt. Because their sin seems so severe, or the results are
so terrible, it is easy for them to think the Lord's forgiveness is
given to those whose offenses are less serious.
The answer does not lie in self-forgiveness. One has no
capacity to forgive his own sin.
The Bible says God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. In the sight of God,
sin is sin, and the offenses, whether big or little, are all sins
that separate us from God. The issue is honest confession and
a willingness to submit to the Lord.
Has there been a secret murder? Maybe a public confession
is needed and maybe not. But to the Lord, the issue of forgiveness
is no more difficult that a far lesser offense.
David paid for his sin, but he was surely forgiven.
Soldier of the Cross, the New Birth places us into a Kingdom of
newness.
Meet with Him and tell Him about it out loud. Let go of the
burden.
Move in freedom.
