The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

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

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

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.

Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness anger concealed often hardens into revenge.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.
