Life is short. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly and love truly.

We have the freedom to pray and the freedom to love the God of our heart. And we have been forgiven by the only one who could condemn us. We are truly free.

True friends love one another, even though we're all a little quirky.

I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.

Unforgiveness denies the victim the possibility of parole and leaves them stuck in the prison of what was, incarcerating them in their trauma and relinquishing the chance to escape beyond the pain.

To be unforgiving is like to drink poison and wait for someone else to die!!

As we forge deeper into this issue of forgiveness, we must be prepared to open up and discuss things that bother us before they escalate to a crisis level. We must examine our struggles with forgiveness in which there are not overt offenses or blatant betrayals. I'm convinced that seeds of resentment take root in the silent frustrations that never get discussed. Other people cannot read our minds--or our palms!--and that is why we have tongues to speak.

The physical power of real love is staggering, because real forgiveness is staggering...

Always remember you have been given the power to forgive any offense, and in so doing, remove it from your awareness as far as the east is from the west. True Vision is his gift, allowing you to see no blame; forgiveness is your truest purpose in the life. Seventy times seven, always leaving the old self in a watery grave and rising to find no fault. That's grace, that's true baptism and that's good news...

Let go of your right to take offense at all that ever threatened you and all that threatens you still. Release the fear your understanding shows you in this storm. Turn even the other cheek.

Release any offense, not only against others but against the world. Find no offense in the waves. Trust Yeshua instead.

All fear springs from an aversion to being threatened or wronged on some level. And yet it is written that true love holds no record of wrong.
