We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong
Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart
Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies
Forgiveness has nothing to do with absolving a criminal of his crime. It has everything to do with relieving oneself of the burden of being a victim--letting go of the pain and transforming oneself from victim to survivor
It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on
Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat......Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established.........Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive. But should they finally confess and repent, you will discover a miracle in your own heart that allows you to reach out and begin to build between you a bridge of reconciliation.........Forgiveness does not excuse anything.........You may have to declare your forgiveness a hundred times the first day and the second day, but the third day will be less and each day after, until one day you will realize that you have forgiven completely. And then one day you will pray for their wholeness
Here's to a great week of freedom!!
