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

I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.

Unhealed wounds open us up to habitual sin against God and others.

If we forgive other people, our hearts are made fit to receive forgiveness.

Forgiveness changes the way we remember. It converts the curse into a blessing. Forgiveness indeed heals memories...

When we don't forgive, we're not hurting the other person. We're not hurting the company that did us wrong. We're not hurting God. We're only hurting ourselves.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.

forgiveness.

Most of us need time to work through pain and loss. We can find all manner of reasons for postponing forgiveness. One of these reasons is waiting for the wrongdoers to repent before we forgive them. Yet such a delay causes us to forfeit the peace and happiness that could be ours.

Forgiveness is the ultimate preventive medicine, as well as the greatest healer.

Grace is given to heal the spiritually sick, not to decorate spiritual heroes
