Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
FORGIVENESS, WILLINGNESS TO FORGIVE
Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness.
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
I do not bring forgiveness with me, nor forgetfulness. The only ones who can forgive are dead the living have no right to forget.
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
