Compassion and/or Forgiveness?

I'm having a grown woman issue this week!! Can we prosper in life without compassion and forgiveness? Can we prosper without offering compassion and forgiveness to ourselves? Alot of doubt and fear creeps into my thoughts because I think in my small mind, I havent honestly forgiven myself which means I can't honestly forgive others. That's terrible because due to God's mercy and grace he has forgiven us all for our mistakes. Can people honestly forgive others as Christ has forgiven us? Maybe not, but in my heart that's what I want to do for myself and wish I could be granted the same to people I have hurt or who are hurting. That's my prayer for this week. I stepping into uncharter waters but I know that God's grace and mercy are guiding me. I also know and believe that he can change things and do the impossible. Well a few of these mountains that I face, I have let fear creep in and believe that change is impossible. Well as long as we have breath in our bodies, the Lord can definately change things, people, minds and lives. I'm stepping out on faith, hanging on the limb believing and praying that he will change some hearts and mine also in the process. Deep huh??? Grown woman!!!!!!!!!!! In the words of Keri Hilson, "you betta recognize a REAL WOMAN!".......
