Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.

Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.

God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.

God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections, admit our failures, and plead to God for clemency.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

Forgiveness really is so misunderstood, as well as the power it can release in an individual.

It's far easier to forgive an enemy after you've got even with him.

Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.

When there's that forgiveness present and compassion, it just helps you live so much easier.

Forgiveness means letting go of the past.
