You think they made you feel this way, but when you won't forgive, you are the one inflicting the pain on yourself.
They got it started, but you keep it going. Forgive and let it go, or it will eat you alive.
They caused the first wound, but you are causing the rest; this is what not forgiving does.
When you give others a new chance, a new chance is really being given to you.
When you reach out to those you need to forgive, it is you that will be touched and healed.
Forgiveness, no matter your motive, is a dynamic of mutual healing.
Through forgiveness you can be free of the tragedies and pain in other people's failures.
Forgiveness can help you to be sane.
If you try to hold people to your standard of conduct you will go mad with disappointment and grief.
Forgiveness is another way of saying, "I need to mind my own business."
