Thinkling Jared posts on forgiving oneself. Please go read the whole post. The money quote:

You don’t need to forgive yourself. You need to ask forgiveness or grant it. You need to repent or rebuke. You need to claim the saving grace of Jesus, and I actually think that feeling burdened by your own sin is a great way to walk in awe of that grace.

Yes!

1. Not sure how y’all do it theologically, but the way I was taught, once you have repented, confessed, and been absolved, it was a grave sin to further berate onself and wallow in the sin for which you’ve been forgiven.

   I wouldn’t be surprised if that ended up being the real meaning of “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit,” denying God’s salvific power.
