Quote of the day:
“He who cannot forgive others destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.” — George Herbert
Consider:
Forgiveness. Often this one word is painful to hear and difficult to imagine.
It’s possible you have no desire to give someone the gift of your forgiveness, perhaps you feel that they are undeserving, or you are not motivated to forgive because you have been denied that gift yourself. If this is the case with you, remember, forgiveness is mercy, not justice. Forgiveness is never deserved, but when you give it to another, even when everything inside of you is screaming that you shouldn’t. Forgiveness is choosing to leave things in God’s hands, and to accept that all people do wrong—including you.
What good does forgiving do you? When you forgive someone, it’s no longer about the other person; a change takes place in you—something happens in the depths of your soul. The feelings of anger and resentment that eat away at your heart are replaced with feelings of forgiveness. When you forgive someone, your heart is cleansed and you receive peace.
Forgiveness is a chance to do the right thing, regardless of what’s been done to you. A forgiving heart lights and warms you, even in the darkest and coldest of places. You never know when you yourself will need forgiveness.
Will you also forgive others?
Wishing you all the best,
