Why is forgiving ourselves so hard?

Aug. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- A song based on Cherished will be featured on the newest album from Christian rapper Da’ T.R.U.T.H.!

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.  Kim Cash Tate explores Psalm 103:12 as she takes her readers down the path to God’s forgiveness and reconciliation in her newest novel, Cherished.  Readers will discover that God can still use them in spite of their worst choices.  And He doesn’t just forgive them, but they are truly cherished!

Tate’s story will show her readers how God can bring beauty from ashes.  She has a unique way of weaving her characters’ lives together, leading back to one great point—God’s tremendous mercy and grace.  In the words of one of her characters, “I wasn’t sure what to expect.  I felt like it would take a while to work my way back into God’s good graces, but it was like…”—she flung wide her arms—“…He just embraced me.”  We too can be embraced by the same great love when we learn that true forgiveness for ALL of our sins is right before us.

Growing up in Saint Louis, Kelli London dreamed of becoming a songwriter and glorifying God with her songs of praise.  But after falling into sin, she walks away from her dreams.  Heather Anderson’s life has spun out of control—first an affair with a married man and then a one-night stand with the drummer of a popular Christian band.  Broken and alone, she discovers the only one who can save her.  Brian Howard grew up as a science geek.  But after making the worst mistake of his life after high school, he finds forgiveness in Christ and is being led down a completely different path.  Now he must choose whether to continue pursuing his PhD in biochemistry or to become a full time Christian rapper.  

In her interviews, Tate discusses topics such as:

·         Learning to forgive ourselves
·         Choosing to forgive others and allowing God to change them
·         Following the dreams God has for us
·         Surrounding ourselves with Christian friends who will pray for and encourage us
·         Understanding God’s unchanging love

Tate was a speaker for Women of Faith in both 2010 and 2011.  She appeared as the cover girl for the May issue of Empowering Everyday Women and will be featured in the September edition of Significant Living.  A song based on Cherished will be featured on the newest album from Christian rapper Da’ T.R.U.T.H., and also features CeCe Winans. Tate is also the founder of Colored in Christ Ministries.  Her appeal as a Bible teacher and a “big sister” in ministry, as well as her messages of hope, is what attracts discerning fiction lovers worldwide.  

Tate’s characters bring a reflection of our own poor choices.  Readers walk away knowing that despite their worst mistakes, they are cherished by their Creator.  “The enemy will try to make you feel guilty about your past, and he’ll use your own thoughts or he’ll use other people.  But if you know who you are, he won’t succeed,” says Tate.
