We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.
Reversing your treatment of the man you have wronged is better than asking his forgiveness.
Reserving, treatment, 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
Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.
The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
