mistakes, courage, forgiveness, forgivable
When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.
I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.
FORGIVENESS, FORGIVENESS LIBERATES THE VICTIM
We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
