-
The most creative power given to the human spirit is the power
to heal the wounds of a past it cannot change.
-
We do our forgiving alone, inside our hearts and minds: what
happens to the people we forgive depends on them.
-
We forgive people only for what they do, never for what they
are.
-
We forgive people only for wounding and wronging us; we do not
forgive people for things we do not blame them for.
-
We cannot forgive a wrong unless we first blame the person who
wronged us.
-
Forgiving is a journey; the deeper the wound, the longer the
journey.
-
Forgiving does not require us to reunite with the person who
broke our trust.
-
We do not forgive because we are supposed to; we forgive when
we are ready to be healed.
-
Waiting for someone to repent before we forgive is to surrender
our future to the person who sronged us.
-
Forgiving is not a way to avoid pain, but to heal pain.
-
Forgiving is done best when it is done intolerantly.
-
Forgiving a person does not mean we are willing to put up with
hwat he does.
-
We do not excuse the person we forgive; we blame the person
we forgive.
-
Forgiving is essential; talking about it is optional.
